Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet, 3/4oz Red Devle fishing spoon #20454

Stamped clearly into the polished silver back is the 'Dearborn MI' location, marking this specimen as a product of Eppinger's post-1959 era. This Dardevle Dardevlet, identified by product code 20454, showcases the legendary Red Devle color pattern with its unmistakable red and white stripes. On the concave face, the classic devil head graphic remains crisp against the paint. Weighing 3/4 oz (21 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this spoon provides the necessary heft for long-distance casting and reaching deeper water columns where predators lurk. The manufacturing quality is evident in the thick metal body and the durable treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. This particular lure is in remarkable condition, warranting a 5/5 rating. Its finish retains a bright luster, from the white enamel to the stamped lettering on the reverse side.
