Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet, 3/4oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #12437

Red and white stripes cover the face of this 3/4oz (21g) spoon, creating the high-contrast pattern that has defined Eppinger's output for decades. At 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, this Dardevlet model features a polished nickel finish on the back and the iconic imp logo stamped on the front. This specific specimen (Product Code 12437) is unused, preserved in its original vintage carding which highlights its dual-purpose design for trolling or casting. The craftsmanship involves the same heavy-gauge metal and proprietary dies Lou Eppinger popularized in Michigan, ensuring the physical durability required for predatory game fish. The graphics on the card remain sharp, advertising it as a top choice for a variety of conditions. Each component, from the split ring to the enamel finish, is clean and reflects the heritage of American-made tackle.
