Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #3382

Weighing in at a substantial 1 oz (28 g), this classic spoon feels solid in the hand and is built for serious casting distance. The vibrant Five of Diamonds finish—a signature yellow paint job accented by five crisp red diamonds—identifies this specimen as a versatile choice for pike or muskies. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, the lure features the iconic red devil logo stamped right on the front. Flipping it over, the brass-colored back carries the stamped text identifying it as an Eppinger original, made in Dearborn, Michigan, where the company established operations after moving from Detroit in 1959. This specific item, identified by product code 3382, retains its original treble hook and heavy-duty split ring. The finish is in 4/5 condition, showing just enough history to tell a story while remaining a highly functional piece for any tackle box. The metal body maintains its distinct oblong shape and concave profile.
