Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400, 1/2oz Green / Nickel fishing spoon #15353

A brilliant green glitter inlay dominates the concave face of this 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) spoon, framed by a solid green painted border. This specimen, identified as the Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400 with product code 15353, carries the classic American manufacturing quality synonymous with the Dearborn, Michigan, workshop. At 1/2 oz (14 g), the weight provides substantial mass for long-distance casting or trolling for various predator species. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring securing a sharp treble hook, maintaining the high standards of production Eppinger has followed since 1906. The reverse side features a bright nickel finish, offering a clean metallic contrast to the vibrant, textured front. In its 5/5 state, the paint and glitter remain beautifully preserved, showing no signs of wear. A single attachment hole is positioned at the narrow end, ready for a snap or line.
