Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet, 3/4oz Red Devle fishing spoon #19760

Stamped into the polished chrome interior is the "Detroit, U.S.A." mark, placing this Eppinger Dardevlet firmly in the mid-century legacy of Michigan tackle manufacturing. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), this 2 3/4-inch (7 cm) spoon carries the unmistakable Red Devle finish, characterized by its vibrant red outer edges and a clean white center stripe. A standout detail on this specific specimen, cataloged as product code 19760, is the sharp black devil head logo printed on the convex side, a signature of the brand's identity. The reverse side maintains a high-luster metallic finish that provides a stark visual contrast to the painted front. This piece is in excellent condition, rated at 5/5, with the paint and hardware remaining notably well-preserved. A robust treble hook is joined to the tail via a heavy-duty split ring, rounding out a build designed for casting or trolling.
