Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet, 3/4oz Black/White fishing spoon #20183

Black and white finishes on Eppinger spoons are legendary, and this 3/4oz (21g) Dardevle Dardevlet shows off that classic high-contrast look. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the lure features a deep black enamel finish on its upper half, accented by a scattering of silver-toned glitter and the iconic devil head logo. The lower section transitions into a bright white tip with a textured, hand-dipped appearance. On the reverse side, the metal is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's name and the 'Dardevlet' model designation, signifying its Michigan-born heritage. Hardware includes a robust silver-tone treble hook attached via a split ring at the rear and a pre-drilled line tie at the head. This specimen, identified by product code 20183, is rated at 4/5 condition, showing only light surface marks and minor paint chips that speak to its age while maintaining a bright, functional finish. Designed for casting, it remains a staple for those seeking a heavy, American-made spoon for their tackle box.
