Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400, 2/3oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #12859

Five red diamonds stand out sharply against the bright yellow enamel of this classic spoon. Flipping the metal body reveals a clean gold-toned finish stamped with 'COP-E-CAT 7400 DETROIT U.S.A.', a direct link to Eppinger's manufacturing heritage in Michigan. This specimen, cataloged as product code 12859, weighs 2/3 oz (19 g) and measures 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length. The front face features the iconic red devil logo centered within the geometric pattern. In 5/5 condition, the finish is exceptionally well-preserved, showcasing the quality of the proprietary dies used in the USA factory. A sturdy silver-tone treble hook is secured to the trailing end via a split ring, paired with a clean line-tie hole at the tapered nose. The deep concave curvature is designed specifically for casting and trolling applications.
