Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet, 3/4oz brass fishing spoon #21688

Hammered brass scales create a multifaceted surface on this 3/4oz (21g) classic, designed to catch and throw light effectively under the surface. Measuring exactly 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, this specimen represents the legendary Eppinger craftsmanship that has defined American tackle for over a century. The concave back of the spoon features crisp, deep stampings including the "Dardevlet" model name and its "Detroit USA" manufacturing origin. You can catalog this specific piece in your database using product code 21688. The metal displays a warm, lustrous finish that remains impressively bright. This lure is in 5/5 condition, with well-preserved hardware and a sharp, sturdy treble hook assembly. Its teardrop profile is the definitive Eppinger silhouette, while the hammered texture provides a distinct visual variation from the standard smooth-faced models. A clean line-tie hole and a solid split ring connection complete this reliable casting tool.
