Museum Archive: Vintage Nebco Tor-P-Do, 1/4oz Hammered Gold / Red fishing spoon #2082

Diagonal red stripes cut across the hammered gold surface of this 1 1/2" (4cm) spoon, creating a distinct visual contrast. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this specimen features a deeply dimpled texture on the front to maximize light reflection. Flipping the lure over reveals a smooth, polished gold backside clearly stamped with the manufacturer’s mark: "Nebco", "TOR-P-DO-1", and "MADE IN USA". The hardware remains intact, consisting of a split ring connected to a multi-link bead chain swivel, designed to manage line twist during casting or trolling operations. Rated at 4/5, the lure shows gentle signs of use while maintaining its structural integrity and vibrant finish. A sharp treble hook is attached to the tail via a split ring, completing this classic American-made piece documented under product code 2082.
