Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet, 3/4oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #15512

Red and white enamel stripes define the convex face of the spoon, showcasing a signature Eppinger pattern that has remained a tackle box staple for over a century. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 3/4 oz (21 g), this Dardevlet model (Product Code 15512) is built for significant casting distance. The reverse side features a polished nickel finish with a clear "DARDEVLET DETROIT U.S.A." stamp, linking it back to the manufacturer’s historic Michigan facility. Visible on the front is the classic "devil head" logo, centered within the white stripe. Regarding its state, there is some minor surface wear and small chips in the paint consistent with light use, meriting a condition rating of 4/5. The spoon is rigged with its original hardware, including a steel split ring and a sharp treble hook.
