Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Yellow / Green / Nickel fishing spoon #4203

Weighing in at a substantial 1oz (28g), this classic spoon feels solid and balanced for long distance casting. The front displays a distinctive yellow center framed by a green honeycomb scale pattern along the tapered edges. Stamped clearly in the yellow section is the iconic Eppinger devil head logo. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, this model 4203 comes from the company's Detroit-era production, as indicated by the "DARDEVLE DETROIT, U.S.A." marking on the polished nickel back. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook secured by a split ring at the base. This specimen is in excellent shape with a 5/5 condition rating, showing high-gloss paint and a clean, mirror-like finish on the reverse side. The scale-like texture of the green border provides a unique visual contrast against the smooth yellow core.
