Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Huskie Junior Crystal , 2oz fishing spoon #3730

Hammered details create the distinctive "Crystal" finish on this heavy-hitting spoon, designed for deep-water pursuit. Measuring a substantial 4 1/2" (11.5 cm) and tipping the scales at 2 oz (58 g), this Eppinger Dardevle Huskie Junior is built for targeting large game fish like pike or muskellunge. The back of the lure is clearly stamped with the "HUSKIE JUNIOR" name alongside the "EPPINGER DETROIT, MICH." hallmark, reflecting its heritage before the company moved its operations to Dearborn in 1959. This specific specimen carries the Product Code 3730 and showcases a textured surface that reflects light in multiple directions. The hardware consists of sturdy split rings and a large silver-tone treble hook, well-suited for the mechanical strain of heavy casting or trolling. Rated in 5/5 condition, the nickel-colored surface remains bright and the stamping is crisp. This monochromatic version relies on its faceted texture to provide visual flash in clear water conditions.
