Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Detroit (1930s), 1oz Black Devle fishing spoon #24040

Weighing in at a substantial 1oz (28g), this teardrop-shaped spoon represents a significant piece of American angling history from the 1930s. The Black Devle finish features a bold yellow diagonal stripe set against a deep black background, a characteristic color scheme from Eppinger's early Detroit production era in the USA. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, the metal body shows gentle signs of its journey through time with a condition rating of 4/5, displaying some light paint loss along the edges. A single large treble hook is secured to the rear with a metal ring, intended for casting or trolling for larger freshwater predators. This vintage rarity, identified by product code 24040, remains a foundational piece for any collection focusing on the evolution of the iconic Dardevle brand.
