Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet Feathered Weedless, 3/4oz Red Devle fishing spoon #22364

Red and cream-white stripes define the convex face of this heavy casting spoon, a pattern known to generations of anglers as the Red Devle. Measuring exactly 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the lure features the iconic stamped devil head logo centered on the bone-colored stripe. For navigating thick vegetation, the 22364 product code identifies a specialized weedless configuration, utilizing a metal wire guard over the hook and a dressing of vibrant red feathers. This 3/4 oz (21 g) specimen is constructed with three distinct rivets that secure the hardware to the stamped metal body. Flipping it over reveals a polished silver reverse side, marked with "DARDEVLET" and "MADE IN USA" in sharp, legible stamping. There are visible signs of use, including small paint chips along the outer edges and light surface scuffs on the convex side, resulting in a solid 4/5 condition.
