Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #3381

Sturdy 1oz (28g) weight allows this Eppinger casting spoon to reach impressive depths during a retrieve. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), the teardrop-shaped body is finished in the classic red and white striped enamel that has defined the brand since its 1906 Detroit origins. Centered on the white stripe is the recognizable devil logo, a mark of authenticity for collectors and anglers alike. Flipping the spoon over reveals a polished nickel surface clearly stamped with "DARDEVLE DETROIT USA." This specimen, identified by product code 3381, sits in a well-preserved state with a condition rating of 5/5. The enamel remains vibrant and the nickel back provides a clean reflective surface, which historically was the preferred choice for fishing in clear water. The heavy-duty treble hook is attached via a strong split ring at the base, and a single attachment hole is punched at the nose for your leader or line.
