Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7300, 1/3oz Yellow / Red Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #0419

Five iconic red diamonds contrast sharply against the bright yellow finish of this vintage Eppinger classic. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), this Cop-E-Cat 7300 is a versatile size for various freshwater species. Carrying the product code 0419, this specimen features the trademark stamped devil head logo clearly visible on the yellow painted surface. The Eppinger brand originated in Detroit, Michigan, and this spoon showcases the proprietary die-shaping that defines the brand's American-made heritage. It comes rigged with a strong split ring and a sharp treble hook, suitable for both casting and trolling applications. The overall finish is quite well-preserved, leading to a condition rating of 4/5. When pulled through the water at a steady speed, the oblong shape and concave face work together to create a distinct visual profile.
