Stamping on the reverse side marks this specimen as a product of Dearborn, MI, placing its production after Eppinger’s 1959 move from Detroit. This classic Red Devle color pattern features a deep red finish bisected by a cream-colored stripe. At 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length and weighing 1oz (28 g), the lure is sized for heavy casting or deep trolling. The 5/5 condition rating reflects a very clean exterior with vibrant paint and only the slightest signs of storage wear on the metal edges. The underside is clearly stamped with the weight and the manufacturer's location, ensuring its authenticity as an American-made spoon. All hardware, including the treble hook and split ring, is intact and shows the solid construction Eppinger is known for. This specific model, product code 19730, utilizes the same proprietary die shapes that have defined the brand’s output for decades.
