Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Imp, 2/5oz Pearl fishing spoon #19652

A weight of 2/5 oz (11 g) makes this specific Eppinger Dardevle Imp a versatile choice for various freshwater species. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the spoon features a pearl base finish overlaid with soft rainbow airbrushing in shades of pink, yellow, and blue. The classic black devil head logo is centered on the face, representing the Michigan-based brand's long-standing heritage. On the reverse side, the silver-toned surface is clearly stamped with "DARDEVLE IMP DEARBORN MI," indicating its manufacture after the company moved production in 1959. This specimen, cataloged under product code 19652, is in 5/5 condition and retains its original split ring and sharp treble hook. Its signature oblong and concave shape is pressed with proprietary USA-made dies to create a steady wobble when retrieved. A single line tie at the head shows the precision expected from authentic Eppinger hardware.
