Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet , 3/4oz Frog (Yellow, Green, Nickel) fishing spoon #3284

A weight of 3/4 oz (21 g) gives this spoon enough mass to punch through a headwind during a long cast. Clad in the classic Frog finish, the blade features a dark base layered with a yellow crackle effect and five distinct yellow spots with black centers. The iconic devil head logo sits prominently in yellow near the center of the 2 3/4" (7 cm) body. Flipping the lure reveals a polished nickel reverse, deeply stamped with the maker's mark "DARDEVLET EPINGER DETROIT USA," a hallmark of the Eppinger company’s Michigan roots since 1906. This particular specimen, identified by product code 3284, is in superb 5/5 condition, with the paint and hardware looking fresh. The lure's hardware includes a robust treble hook attached via a split ring, ready for heavy-duty trolling or casting. The contrast between the dark, textured top and the bright nickel back creates a strong visual flash when moved through the water.
