Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Imp, 2/5oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #21000

Five red diamonds contrast sharply against the vibrant yellow finish of this vintage Eppinger spoon. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), this Dardevle Imp, product code 21000, carries one of the most recognizable patterns in angling history. The front face features the unmistakable black devil head logo, while the reverse reveals a brass back stamped with "DARDEVLE IMP U.S.A." as a testament to its American manufacturing roots. This particular specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing minor surface marks from storage while retaining its glossy finish and crisp graphics. Its distinctive concave shape is designed for a signature wobbling motion when used for casting or light trolling. The original hardware, including the silver-toned treble hook and sturdy split ring, remains intact and functional.
