A high-visibility fluorescent green and yellow finish with a honeycomb scale pattern defines this 1 oz (28 g) specimen. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, the spoon features a polished nickel back, a design choice Eppinger has long recommended for clear water visibility. This particular Dardevle, identified by product code 1980, remains unused in its original vintage retail packaging. The classic oblong shape and concave surface are hallmarks of the proprietary manufacturing dies Eppinger has utilized since moving operations to Dearborn, Michigan, in 1959. Its heavy-duty treble hook is factory-original, secured to the substantial metal body designed for casting. The card backing reflects the authentic "America's Fishing Lures" branding, confirming its U.S.A. origin and historical place in Detroit-area tackle manufacturing.
