Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Crystal, 1oz Crystal (Scale) discontinued fishing spoon #4207

Tipping the scales at 1oz (28g), this classic spoon exemplifies the heavy-duty casting power Eppinger is known for. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), the lure features the discontinued Crystal Scale pattern, a distinctive textured finish designed to catch and fracture light in multiple directions. The back of the spoon is clearly stamped with the "DARDEVLE DETROIT" mark, anchoring its heritage to the brand's long history in Michigan. This specimen, identified by product code 4207, remains in 5/5 condition, showing off a clean surface and original hardware. The concave construction is paired with a sturdy treble hook attached via a robust split ring, built for long-distance casting and deep trolling. The crystal scale texture is a standout detail for collectors, offering a multifaceted shimmer that differs significantly from the standard smooth finishes usually seen on these Detroit-made classics.
