Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet , 3/4oz Rainbow Pearl fishing spoon #8852

Tipping the scales at 3/4 oz (21 g), this vintage specimen features the substantial heft required for long-distance casting or controlled trolling. The Rainbow Pearl finish on this 2 3/4" (7 cm) spoon is a gentle blend of pastel pink, yellow, and blue hues over a shimmering base. A clean, black stamp of the classic devil head logo sits prominently on the upper half of the convex side. On the reverse, the polished silver-tone metal is stamped with DARDEVLET and DEARBORN MI., marking its origin from the Michigan facility where the company has operated since 1959. This item, identified by product code 8852, is in excellent condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its preserved finish and bright hardware. The lure is rigged with its original silver-colored treble hook, secured by a heavy-duty split ring, ready for a spot in a collector's display or a working tackle box.
