Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz White / Black fishing spoon #0522

Deep black vertical stripes flank a clean white center on this classic heavy-duty casting spoon. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing in at 1 oz (28 g), the lure is engineered for long-distance casting and reaching deeper water columns. The iconic "Devil Head" logo is stamped clearly onto the convex side, a hallmark of the Eppinger MFG. COMPANY. This specimen, assigned product code 0522, remains in its original red and yellow cardboard blister packaging, which notes the company's historic Dearborn, Michigan location. The concave design is technically crafted to produce a consistent wobbling motion when retrieved at various speeds. As an unused item, the spoon remains in its original state with a condition rating of 6. The packaging provides a glimpse into the brand's mid-century manufacturing history, including the specific departmental address used for consumer inquiries at the time.
