Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet , 3/4oz Frog / Nickel fishing spoon #9750

The 3/4oz (21g) weight of this vintage spoon makes it a substantial choice for reaching deeper water or maintaining control during a long cast. Listed as product code 9750, this Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet showcases the classic "Frog" finish, a striking combination of a dark green crackle pattern over a yellow base. Five distinct yellow spots with black centers are distributed across the body, framing the iconic devil head logo in the center. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the body maintains the proprietary concave shape that the Eppinger company has perfected in their Michigan facility since 1959. The reverse side is a polished nickel, deeply stamped with the manufacturer's mark and its Dearborn, U.S.A. origin. It is equipped with the original silver-toned treble hook and heavy-duty split ring. This specimen is unused, appearing in 6/5 condition with the factory-fresh luster preserved on both the painted face and the metallic back. The manufacturing dies used here are specific to the brand, ensuring the physical dimensions meet the standards set by Lou Eppinger over a century ago.
