Stamped clearly on the polished nickel back is the Lou J. Eppinger Mfg. Co. mark from the Detroit, Michigan era, grounding this piece firmly in the brand's early heritage. This Dardevle Huskie Junior, product code 3233, weighs a substantial 2 oz (58g) and measures 4 1/2" (11.5cm), making it a heavyweight choice intended for deep-water casting or trolling. The top side features a complex green-and-yellow crackle finish, punctuated by seven distinct yellow-rimmed black spots that create a high-contrast visual profile. Its hardware includes a heavy-duty split ring at the line tie and a robust, large-gauge treble hook that remains structurally sound. The painted surface and the metal reverse are well-preserved and clean, reflecting a 4/5 condition rating. Because this is the Huskie Junior model, it utilizes the classic wide-profile silhouette that Eppinger standardized over a century ago. The stamping on the concave side is deep and legible, highlighting the craftsmanship from the original Detroit manufacturing site.
