Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 7700, 1/2oz Frog / Nickel fishing spoon #4478

Green and yellow crackle paint creates a classic frog pattern on the face of this 1/2oz (14g) spoon. The front features four black spots surrounding a central yellow circle where the iconic canine profile logo is clearly visible. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm), this specimen is identified by the "DEVLE-DOG 7700 DETROIT U.S.A." stamp on its nickel reverse side. This specific model, product code 4478, represents a piece of Eppinger's history from their original Detroit manufacturing era. The split-ring hardware connects a robust treble hook, which shows no signs of use or wear. Rated at 5/5, the paint finish remains exceptionally crisp across the oblong surface. Designed for casting or trolling, the heavy metal construction provides significant heft for its compact size.
