Copper backing serves as the foundation for this 3 1/2" (9cm) casting spoon, featuring the iconic "DARDEVLE DETROIT U.S.A." stamp clearly pressed into the metal. On the face, the classic Red Devle color scheme is applied in diagonal red stripes over a white base, topped with the signature devil head logo near the top eyelet. This 1oz (28g) lure, designated by product code 19094, carries a 4/5 condition rating. The paint exhibits honest signs of use through small chips and surface wear that reflect its history on the water. Its robust construction and heavy weight make it a reliable choice for long-distance casting or trolling applications. The hardware remains functional, featuring a vintage treble hook attached via a split ring. Lou Eppinger began producing these in Detroit back in 1906, and this specimen retains the specific concave geometry that made the brand a staple for North American anglers. The copper reverse side has matured naturally while keeping the manufacturer's identification crisp.
