Nickel plating on the concave back of this specimen clearly displays the "Dardevle Imp U.S.A." stamp, a hallmark of Eppinger’s American-made heritage. This specific model, identified by product code 2124, weighs in at a versatile 2/5 oz (11 g). The front face features a classic black and white high-contrast finish, with the paint showing some gentle character from light use, earning it a 4/5 condition rating. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the spoon’s distinctive oblong shape is designed to produce a reliable wobbling retrieve when cast or trolled. A vintage treble hook is secured to the tail, while the head features the classic single line-tie hole. The paint remains largely vibrant, with only minor chips along the edges that highlight its history as a functional piece of Detroit-born tackle.
