Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Red Devle fishing spoon #23164

Weighing in at a solid 1oz (28g), this classic spoon features the hefty metal construction that has made the brand a staple in Michigan tackle boxes since 1906. The 3 1/2" (9cm) body is finished in the signature Red Devle pattern, a bold red base with a distinct white diagonal stripe across the convex side. On the silver-toned inner concave face, the authentic "DARDEVLE DETROIT. U.S.A." stamp is clearly visible, identifying this specimen as a product of Eppinger’s early manufacturing history. Under product code 23164, this lure displays the character of a seasoned veteran with a 3.5/5 condition rating, showing scattered paint chips and surface wear along the edges from previous outings. The hardware includes a durable silver split ring attached to a robust treble hook, ready for casting or trolling. You can still see the original devil-head logo stamped near the line-tie hole, a detail produced by the company's proprietary dies. This specific weight and oblong profile are designed for reaching deeper water columns where larger predatory fish often hold.
