Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Fire Tiger / Brass fishing spoon #2697

Tipping the scales at 1oz (28g), this classic Eppinger casting spoon features the iconic Fire Tiger pattern across its 3 1/2" (9cm) frame. The finish is a vibrant gradient of neon yellow and green, edged with a bold orange line and accented by black vertical stripes along one side. Looking at the brass back, you'll find the authentic "DARDEVLE" and "EPPINGER DETROIT" stamps clearly visible alongside the weight designation. This specific specimen carries the product code 2697 and displays the classic devil head logo on the painted side. The hardware consists of a sturdy, silver-toned treble hook connected by a reliable split ring. This lure is in 5/5 condition, showing the meticulous care expected from a well-preserved collector's piece. The brass construction provides a natural flash that complements the bright topside colors when fishing in varying light conditions.
