Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 5500, 3/4oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #2063

Stamped clearly into the nickel-plated reverse side of this spoon is the identification mark 'DEVLE-DOG 5500 DETROIT U.S.A.,' anchoring it to Eppinger's historic Michigan manufacturing roots. This 2 1/2" (6.5cm) specimen is finished in the classic red and white stripe pattern, featuring the signature black devil head logo printed directly onto the central white band. Weighing 3/4oz (21g), the lure is built on a substantial metal body that provides a solid feel for casting or trolling. The hardware consists of a single treble hook secured by a split ring, both showing a clean, functional state. In our database, this specific model is cataloged under product code 2063. We have rated the condition as 5/5, noting that the painted stripes remain vibrant and the nickel finish on the back is bright. The concave construction and oblong shape are key features designed to catch light while the lure moves through the water.
