Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Huskie Junior , 2oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #14035

Scaling in at 2 oz (58 g), this heavy-gauge Huskie Junior spoon is a prime example of the 700 Series from Eppinger’s Dearborn, Michigan era. The 4 1/2" (11.5 cm) body carries the classic Five of Diamonds paint scheme, featuring five red diamond shapes over a bright yellow base. Centered on the upper half is the distinct red devil face logo that has identified these lures for over a century. Tracing the back of the metal (Product Code 14035), the brass surface clearly displays the Lou J. Eppinger Huskie-JR stamp, confirming its mid-century heritage following the brand's move in 1959. Regarding its physical state, the condition is a 4/5. The enamel remains mostly vibrant, though there is a noticeable area of paint loss and scraping on the right side of the yellow face, exposing the metal underneath. It is equipped with a large, silver treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring at the trailing edge.
