Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400, 1/2oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #10167

Measuring exactly 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this classic spoon features the unmistakable red and white striped pattern on its convex side. The nickel-finished back is clearly stamped with "COP-E-CAT 7300 DETROIT U.S.A.", a direct tie to the Eppinger company's heritage in Michigan. At a weight of 1/2oz (14g), it provides the heft needed for effective casting or trolling. On the painted face, the vintage devil head logo remains crisp and well-defined atop the white central stripe. This specific specimen carries the product code 10167 and maintains a very clean appearance, warranting a 5/5 condition rating. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring, both showing great preservation. The transition between the vibrant red paint and the white stripe is sharp, highlighting the quality of the American-made finish.
