Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle, 1oz Red / White / Silver fishing spoon #4301

Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, this classic spoon is a staple for any serious angler's tackle box. The iconic red and white striped pattern on the convex face is instantly recognizable, while the polished silver back provides high contrast in various water conditions. At 1oz (28g), the weight provides the necessary heft for reaching greater depths during casting or trolling. The concave interior surface features the authentic stamped manufacturer marks, reminding us of Eppinger's Detroit roots dating back to 1906. This specific specimen, cataloged as product code 4301, shows light wear with minor paint loss along the curved edges, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. The robust treble hook remains sharp and is attached via a sturdy metal ring. Lou Eppinger's original vision for a lure that mimics movement through a unique oblong shape is clearly preserved in this heavy-duty metal piece.
