Crackle-patterned in a classic Frog finish, the top surface of this 1oz (28g) spoon features a distinctive dark green base layered with yellow veining. Six bold yellow circles with deep black centers flank the edges, surrounding the iconic imp logo centered on the metal. On the reverse, the polished silver-toned surface is clearly stamped with the "DARDEVLE DETROIT, U.S.A." mark, identifying it as a piece of Eppinger’s original Michigan heritage. The hardware on this specimen, designated by product code 15066, includes a robust treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring at the tail. The paint and finish show no signs of chips or wear, reflecting a 5/5 condition rating. Every line of the 3 1/2" (9cm) profile displays the quality manufacturing proprietary to the brand's Detroit-era production. Designed primarily for casting, the concave shape and heavy metal construction allow for significant distance and depth control during a steady retrieve.
