Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 7900, 1/4oz Pearl fishing spoon #7491

A pearlescent finish with soft blue and pink misting gives this 1 1/2" (4 cm) spoon a subtle, shifting appearance under varying light conditions. Cataloged under product code 7491, this Eppinger Dardevle Devle Dog 7900 weighs 1/4 oz (7 g), making it a versatile choice for a light spinning rod setup. The stamped lettering on the reverse—'DEVLE-DOG 7900 DETROIT U.S.A.'—is crisp and deep, a direct link to the company’s roots where Lou Eppinger first established the brand's reputation for quality metalwork. The iconic devil-head graphic is sharply printed on the front, centered amidst the pastel-pearl paint. This particular specimen is unused, maintaining its original factory sheen across the polished metal back and throughout the hardware. A sturdy split ring secures a classic tinned treble hook, showing no signs of age or storage wear.
