Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Rok't Imp, 3/4oz Copper Crystal fishing spoon #1376

A faceted Copper Crystal finish gives this vintage spoon a distinctive look, reflecting light off its multi-angled surface in a way that differs from standard hammered finishes. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the Dardevle Rok't Imp, product code 1376, is a classic example of American lure craftsmanship from Eppinger. On the concave side, the metal is clearly stamped with "ROK'T DEVLE", "IMP", and "U.S.A.", confirming its heritage from the company's long history in Michigan. At a weight of 3/4 oz (21 g), it carries enough mass for long-distance casting or steady trolling in deeper water. The hardware features a robust treble hook connected by a sturdy metal ring at the base. Given its history, the condition is a solid 4/5, with the copper maintaining a warm luster and the stamped lettering remaining sharp and legible against the crystal-patterned background.
