Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet , 3/4oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #8433

Tipping the scales at 3/4 oz (21 g), this Eppinger Dardevlet is a solid casting spoon that feels substantial in hand. The front face carries the iconic red and white diagonal striping, with the distinct black devil head logo cleanly stamped in the center white section. This specific model measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and features a polished copper reverse side. On the back, the "DARDEVLET" DETROIT U.S.A. stamping is deeply impressed, reflecting the company’s manufacturing history in Detroit before their relocation to Dearborn in 1959. The heavy concave body is paired with a sharp vintage-style treble hook, secured by a reliable split ring. This specimen is in excellent shape, maintaining a 5/5 condition with clear graphics and vibrant enamel.
