Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Red / Nickel / Ivory fishing spoon #2557

A substantial weight of 1 oz (28 g) makes this particular casting spoon a formidable choice for targeting larger predatory fish. Finished in the classic Red, Nickel, and Ivory palette, the lure showcases the timeless striped aesthetic that has defined the Eppinger brand for decades. The 3 1/2" (9 cm) body is stamped with the trademark devil head icon, a symbol of quality that collectors look for on these Michigan-made lures. Bearing product code 2557, this specimen remains in its original blister pack, which identifies the Eppinger Manufacturing Company's location in Dearborn, MI 48126. The hardware consists of a large treble hook attached via a robust metal ring, designed for durability. This lure is unused, maintaining its factory-fresh appearance inside the original packaging. A vintage retail sticker is still adhered to the bubble pack, providing a glimpse into its past life on a tackle shop shelf.
