Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Black / White / Nickel fishing spoon #4202

A substantial weight of 1 oz (28 g) gives this classic casting spoon excellent distance and depth control for targeting larger predators. Adorned with a bold black and white striped pattern, the convex side features a distinct stamped graphic near the base. Flipping the lure over reveals a polished nickel finish, deeply stamped with the "DARDEVLE DETROIT USA" mark, which links this specific specimen to the brand's long history in Michigan. This Eppinger Dardevle, identified by product code 4202, maintains a clean appearance with its original hardware intact. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, the metal body tapers toward the line tie, a design intended for high visibility in various water clarities. The heavy-duty treble hook remains sharp and is secured by a sturdy split ring. With a condition rating of 5/5, the paint finish is vibrant and the nickel backing remains bright.
