Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Detroit, 1oz Black Devle fishing spoon #23289

Heavy at 1oz (28g), this classic casting spoon features the unmistakable Black Devle finish, consisting of a deep black body split by a bold cream-colored diagonal stripe. Eppinger’s legacy is etched right into the metal of this Detroit-made original, which measures 3 1/2" (9cm) in length. The iconic devil head logo remains sharp on the painted face, while the reverse side displays the traditional "DARDEVLE DETROIT U.S.A." stamp. Carrying product code 23289, this piece is equipped with its original, robust treble hook and split ring assembly. The condition is rated at 4/5, as it has been well-preserved with only light surface evidence of its age. Every detail, from the specific weight stamping to the classic Michigan craftsmanship, marks this as an authentic piece of American angling history.
