Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Detroit (1950s), 1oz Red Devle fishing spoon #23891

Weighing in at 1oz (28g), this hefty spoon is a quintessential piece of American angling history from the 1950s. The Dardevle Detroit is immediately recognizable by its classic Red Devle pattern, consisting of a deep red finish split by a central cream stripe. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), the metal body features the iconic devil head logo stamped near the top eyelet, a hallmark of the Eppinger manufacturing legacy. Given its 4/5 condition rating, the lure exhibits some visible paint wear and small chips along the edges and across the face, which only adds to its authentic character as a tool used for heavy casting or trolling. The original silver-colored treble hook remains securely attached to the rear split ring. This specific specimen, identified by product code 23891, is a testament to the durable construction that made these spoons a staple in tackle boxes for decades.
