Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet , 3/4oz Pearl (Rainbow Pearl / Nickel) fishing spoon #1612

Spotted with a soft Rainbow Pearl finish over a nickel base, this 3/4oz (21g) casting spoon measures 2 3/4" (7cm) in length. The Dardevle Dardevlet, identified by Product Code 1612, features the signature concave oblong body synonymous with Eppinger's American-made quality. Its face is adorned with colorful pastel accents and the classic devil head logo, while the back displays a crisp "DARDEVLET" and "USA" stamp. All hardware, including the split ring and treble hook, remains in excellent form, contributing to a condition rating of 5/5. Designed for a slow retrieve, the spoon's construction creates a distinct wobbling motion as it moves through the water column. Originating from the tradition established by Lou Eppinger in Michigan, this specimen reflects over a century of lure-making history.
