A striking diagonal split of polished nickel and translucent green defines the visual appeal of this specimen. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this Eppinger Dardevle Cop-E-Cat 7400 is a classic representative of Detroit's fishing heritage. The back of the spoon clearly displays the stamped hallmarks of "COP-E-CAT 7400" and "DETROIT U.S.A.", anchoring its history to the brand's original Michigan roots. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), the lure features the iconic devil head logo etched into the green-tinted side of the metal. The heavy-gauge treble hook remains securely attached via a split ring at the rear, making it suitable for both casting and trolling. This specific piece, identified by product code 8392, maintains a condition rating of 5/5, showing the bright reflections and clean surfaces expected of a well-preserved collector's item. The concave body construction is a hallmark of the Eppinger design philosophy, which began in Lou Eppinger's basement in 1906.
