Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet , 3/4oz fishing spoon #10627

Striking red-and-white diagonal stripes define the classic face of this Eppinger Dardevlet, a hallmark of American angling history. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the spoon is a substantial piece for casting or trolling. The front displays the instantly recognizable devil head logo centered on the white stripe. Flip the lure over, and the polished silver surface reveals deep, clear stamps reading "DARDEVLET," "DEARBORN MI.," and the weight "3/4 OZ." These markings place its production after the brand's relocation to Dearborn in 1959. Being an unused specimen, the finish is exceptionally clean, with the red paint maintaining its deep saturation and the silver back showing no signs of water time. The business end features a sharp, silver-finished treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring. For collectors tracking their inventory, this piece is listed under product code 10627.
