Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet, 3/4oz Yellow / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #13166

A vibrant yellow finish featuring distinct red dots and the 'ALL CANADA Show 2011' graphic marks this specimen as a unique commemorative piece. This Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet, cataloged under product code 13166, showcases the classic teardrop shape that Lou Eppinger made famous out of his Detroit basement starting back in 1906. Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the spoon feels solid and balanced for casting or trolling. Turning it over reveals the clean, polished nickel back, stamped with the weight and 'DARDEVLET' name. It’s a 5/5 in condition, appearing crisp and ready for a collection or a slow retrieve along a weed line. The manufacturing relies on proprietary dies kept right here in the USA, ensuring that the distinctive concave profile stays true to the original design. For an angler targeting clear water, the bright yellow and nickel combination provides excellent visibility. The hardware is finished with a sharp, standard treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring.
