Hammered surface textures define the distinctive tricolor face of this nickel, gold, and green casting spoon. Stamped clearly on the reverse side is the 'DARDEVLET DEARBORN MI.' mark alongside the iconic devil head logo, identifying its origin from the legendary Eppinger workshops in the USA. This specific model, identified by Product Code 23251, measures exactly 2 3/4" (7 cm) and carries a substantial weight of 3/4 oz (21 g), designed for long-distance casting and sinking to depth. The front surface features a holographic eye with a dark pupil, adding a focal point to the tiered metallic and painted sections. Its polished nickel back remains bright and clean, with the '3/4 OZ' weight deeply embossed near the line tie. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, showing no signs of corrosion. This specimen is exceptionally well-preserved and appears unused, earning a condition rating of 5/5.
