Stamped clearly on the polished reverse side are the words "DARDEVLE IMP U.S.A.", marking the Detroit-born heritage of this Eppinger classic. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this specific specimen carries the iconic "Red Devle" pattern—a bold red finish divided by a cream-white center stripe. This 21873 model shows honest character through its finish, with some paint loss on the front face where the underlying silver metal peeks through, particularly in the center of the white stripe. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook attached by a split ring at the tail. Eppinger has utilized proprietary dies for these spoons since Lou Eppinger started the company in 1906, ensuring the specific oblong, concave shape that defines the model. The teardrop profile is built for casting, and the silvered back provides a bright flash that contrasts with the painted top surface. Given its visual state and hardware integrity, this lure is rated in 4/5 condition.
