Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Imp 3407, 2/5oz Yellow / Green / Nickel fishing spoon #3407

Tipping the scales at 2/5oz (11g), this vintage spoon carries the classic teardrop profile that made Eppinger a household name. The front face showcases a vibrant yellow finish accented by five distinct green diamonds and the iconic devil head logo centered on the body. Flipping the lure over reveals a clean nickel back, clearly stamped with "DARDEVLE," "IMP," and the "DEARBORN MI" location, marking its origin after the company's 1959 move. Identified by product code 3407, this specimen from the Imp series measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length. It comes equipped with its original silver-toned treble hook attached by a sturdy split ring at the tail. Examining the paint and hardware, the condition is a sharp 5/5, preserved well enough for any display case or tackle box.
