Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400, 1/2oz Yellow / Orange / Nickel fishing spoon #2180

A vibrant gradient of yellow and orange dominates the face of this 1/2oz (14g) spoon. Identifying it immediately as an Eppinger classic, the iconic black devil head logo is stamped onto the front's smooth finish. The reverse side features a reflective nickel surface deeply embossed with 'COP-E-CAT 7400' and 'DETROIT USA.' Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, this specimen, identified by product code 2180, remains a versatile choice for casting or trolling. The hardware consists of a sharp, silver-tone treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. Based on the pristine state of the paint and the polished nickel back, the condition is 5/5. These lures are still tied to their Michigan heritage, utilizing the same proprietary manufacturing dies that have defined the brand's legacy for over a century. The high-contrast pairing of the bright 'sunset' paint and the metallic nickel back provides visibility across various water clarities.
