Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet , 3/4oz Brass fishing spoon #3282

Stamping of the iconic "devil head" logo on the convex face immediately identifies this Dardevlet as a piece of American angling heritage. This Eppinger Dardevle spoon, identified by product code 3282, features a solid brass finish that remains bright and reflective. It measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length and weighs a substantial 3/4 oz (21 g), making it a versatile choice for various freshwater species. On the concave side, the stamp clearly reads "DARDEVLET DETROIT U.S.A.," indicating its production era from the legendary manufacturer founded by Lou Eppinger in Michigan. The hardware is in excellent shape, featuring an original silver-tone treble hook and split ring assembly. Rated at 5/5, the lure shows a clean surface throughout, preserving the fine details of the metalwork. The teardrop profile of the spoon is formed using proprietary dies, a manufacturing technique Eppinger has refined for over a century. A small split ring is attached to the nose, providing a secure connection point for your tackle.
