Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Red Devle fishing spoon #22216

Weighing in at 1oz (28g), this classic casting spoon features the legendary Red Devle color pattern, defined by its bold red body and arcing white stripe. The 3 1/2" (9cm) length makes it a substantial choice for targeting larger species. On the reverse, the "DARDEVLE DETROIT, U.S.A." stamp is clearly visible against the polished metal, reflecting Eppinger’s long manufacturing history in Michigan. This lure carries product code 22216 and is in 5/5 condition, presenting a clean, vibrant finish across its concave surface. The hardware consists of a single large treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail. Eppinger's use of specialized dies since the early 1900s gives this spoon its distinctive oblong profile, engineered for a specific wobbling path when retrieved or trolled. The contrasting white-on-red pigment remains sharp and well-defined on this vintage 1oz (28g) specimen.
