Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet , 3/4oz Red / Yellow / Nickel fishing spoon #2690

Spanning 2 3/4 inches (7 cm), this heavy-duty spoon features the unmistakable red and yellow chevron paint scheme that has defined the brand for decades. At 3/4 oz (21 g), the weight of this Dardevlet model, product code 2690, makes it a powerhouse for long-distance casting or maintaining depth during a steady troll. The face of the spoon is stamped with the classic black devil head logo, while the reverse side reveals a bright nickel finish with a crisp "DARDEVLET" trademark stamp and U.S.A. origin markings. Eppinger's Michigan roots are evident in the robust construction, which remains in 5/5 condition with a bright, glassy finish and no visible signs of use. The hardware is equally well-preserved, featuring a sturdy split ring and a clean treble hook. This specific color combination is a traditional choice for clear-water visibility, utilizing the nickel back to flash in the sunlight while the yellow body provides a high-contrast profile.
