Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Dark Red / Pink fishing spoon #0244

Scaling in at 1 oz (28 g), the lure presents a substantial profile for both collectors and active anglers. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), the convex side is finished in a Dark Red / Pink hue and features distinctive white flecks alongside the pressed imp logo. Turning the spoon over reveals a silver concave surface clearly stamped 'DARDEVLE DETROIT USA,' a nod to the Eppinger legacy in Michigan. This specimen, assigned product code 0244, comes equipped with a sturdy treble hook and split ring. The condition is rated 4/5, exhibiting soft signs of age such as minor paint loss near the line-tie hole and edges. The metal surface on the interior remains clean and reflects light well.
