Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Imp, 2/5oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #20191

A vibrant yellow finish provides the backdrop for five red diamonds on this traditional Eppinger spoon. This Dardevle Spinnie, listed under product code 917, features a polished Brass Back as specified on its original card. The specimen weighs exactly 1/4 oz (7 g) and remains unused in its original factory packaging. Manufactured in the USA, the spoon is part of a legacy that began in 1906, utilizing proprietary dies to achieve its specific shape and weight. The front of the lure is marked with the iconic devil head logo, while the back of the packaging identifies it as an effective choice for bass, salmon, trout, and panfish. This specimen reflects the quality standards maintained by the company since its 1959 move to Dearborn, Michigan, with the paint and hardware showing no signs of age.
