Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Imp, 2/5oz crystal fishing spoon #18555

Hammered facets across the crystal colorway catch light with a soft prismatic effect, a hallmark of the Eppinger design philosophy that has guided the brand since its 1906 Detroit origins. This Dardevle Imp, identified by product code 18555, carries a weight of 2/5 oz (11 g) within its 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) frame. The 4/5 condition reflects a well-maintained piece, showing a soft character in the metal that speaks to its vintage nature while the hardware remains robust. This American-made spoon relies on its proprietary concave die-stamped shape to generate a rhythmic wobbling movement. The surface displays a subtle diffraction across the brass-toned base, paired with a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring for casting or trolling.
