Green glitter tape highlights the concave face of the Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7300, creating a high-contrast flash against its nickel plating. On the reverse, the metal is clearly stamped "COP-E-CAT 7300 DETROIT U.S.A.", which helps date the piece to the manufacturer's time in Detroit prior to 1959. This specific specimen, identified by Product Code 7386, measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and has a weight of 1/3 oz (10 g). The design is built around a signature oblong shape that produces a wobbling movement when retrieved, a classic characteristic of Eppinger spoons. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure shows very little signs of age, maintaining a bright metallic shine and crisp edges. It comes equipped with a silver-tone treble hook and a sturdy split ring, ensuring it is structurally sound for both display and use. The Nickel/Green color combination is particularly effective in clear water environments where the flash of the nickel can travel further.
