Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 7700, 1/2oz Red / Green / Nickel fishing spoon #5270

A bold pattern of red and green diagonal stripes characterizes the face of this Eppinger classic. Stamped clearly on the polished nickel reverse is the "DEVLE-DOG 7700 DETROIT U.S.A." mark, a nod to the company's long-standing history in Michigan. This Dardevle Devle Dog 7700, cataloged as product code 5270, measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and carries a substantial weight of 1/2 oz (14 g). The front features the iconic black devil head logo centered within the stripes. Given its 5/5 condition rating, the paint remains remarkably vibrant and the metal surfaces are well-preserved. The hardware consists of a classic silver-toned treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring. Designed for casting or trolling, the spoon's thick metal construction and concave shape produce a steady wobble in the water. The back's nickel finish provides a bright contrast to the colorful front, intended to catch the light during a retrieve.
