A striking contrast of nickel and blue defines the face of this 3/4 oz (21 g) spoon, a classic example from the Eppinger workshop. Cataloged under product code 19282, the Dardevle Dardevlet measures 2 3/4 inches (7 cm) and represents the enduring design standards established in Michigan. The nickel half of the blade provides a high-flash surface, while the vibrant blue enamel adds a color-shifting element. Its construction features a heavy-gauge metal body and original split-ring hardware connecting a robust treble hook. The blue finish exhibits a soft character with some minor paint loss and surface marks, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. These signs of previous use are common for vintage enamel and highlight the authenticity of the specimen. The deep concave stamping of the metal is a hallmark of the Eppinger manufacturing process, designed to provide a specific profile when retrieved through the water column.
