Five bold red diamonds stand out against the bright yellow finish of this vintage casting spoon. The brass-toned reverse side features the iconic 'DARDEVLE DETROIT, U.S.A.' stamp, reflecting the legacy of Lou Eppinger’s early production in Michigan. Weighing 1oz (28g) and measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), the substantial metal body provides the heft needed for long-distance casting. The centered black devil head logo remains sharp, a hallmark of the brand's identity since the early 20th century. Overall preservation is high, showing a clean surface and intact hardware, which warrants a condition rating of 5/5. A single treble hook is secured at the rear, designed for heavy-duty freshwater applications. The paint displays the classic quality expected from older Eppinger models, cataloged under product code 11124.
