Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet , 3/4oz Crystal (Silver Scale) fishing spoon #1247

Hammered surfaces on this 3/4oz (21g) metal body reflect light through a faceted texture designed to mimic the scales of forage. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, this Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet features the Crystal (Silver Scale) pattern, contrasted by a bold blue paint application at the nose. Flipping the lure over reveals the "DARDEVLET DETROIT U.S.A." stamp, a hallmark of the company's long manufacturing history in Michigan. This specimen, identified by product code 1247, is fitted with a gold-tone treble hook and exhibits the iconic devil head logo on the hammered side. The condition is rated at 5/5, reflecting a well-preserved piece of angling history. Its heavy-gauge construction is purpose-built for casting distance and maintaining depth during a steady retrieve. Each facet on the silver portion is struck to catch the light from multiple angles simultaneously.
