Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Huskie Junior, 2oz Red / Ivory / Nickel fishing spoon #2473

Weighing in at a substantial 2 oz (58g), this heavy-gauge spoon is a classic choice for large predatory species. The finish features a smooth ivory body accented by a deep red chevron near the tail, with a polished nickel reverse side for visibility. Measuring 4 1/2" (11.5cm) in length, this Dardevle Huskie Junior is stamped with the recognizable devil head logo, a hallmark of the Eppinger Manufacturing Company since its early days in Michigan. This specific specimen, identified by product code 2473, is found in its original vintage retail bubble pack from the Dearborn, MI era. The lure is unused, maintaining its factory finish and original hardware. The thick metal construction and substantial profile indicate its design for deep-water casting or trolling where weight is necessary to reach the strike zone.
