Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet , 3/4oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #10677

3/4 oz (21 g) of solid construction defines this classic casting spoon, a weight that allows for long, controlled casts across open water. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this Dardevle Dardevlet features the iconic red and white striped pattern on the front face, accented by the distinctive devil head logo. On the reverse, the polished nickel finish is deeply stamped with "DARDEVLET" DETROIT U.S.A., referencing the manufacturing history of the Eppinger company which began in Detroit in 1906. This specimen, identified by product code 10677, retains its original hardware including a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook. The painted surface remains vibrant and the metal reverse is highly reflective, as the lure is in unused condition. The concave body shape is designed for a specific swimming motion when retrieved or trolled, providing the flash needed to attract predatory species.
