Split lengthwise with a striking two-tone finish, the face of this casting spoon showcases a polished nickel side paired with a deep, vibrant blue. The back side is clearly stamped with the 'DARDEVLET' DETROIT U.S.A. mark, indicating its production roots before the company’s 1959 move to Dearborn. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) and weighing 3/4oz (21g), the concave body is engineered for a distinct wobbling motion during a steady retrieve. Hardware includes a treble hook and split ring that show some age-related darkening, while the painted surface remains bright. This specimen carries a 4/5 condition rating, exhibiting minor surface marks that are typical for a lure of this vintage. Cataloged under product code 15288, the metal split ring securely holds the original treble hook.
