Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Imp Crystal, 2/5oz Crystal fishing spoon #20779

Reflecting light through a textured, scale-like surface, this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon showcases the distinct Eppinger "Crystal" finish sought after by collectors for its unique brilliance. Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (11 g), the metal body features the iconic "DARDEVLE IMP" stamp clearly pressed into the concave side, identifying it under product code 20779. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook attached by a strong split ring, paired with a clean line-tie hole at the tapered head. Evaluation of this specimen reveals a 4/5 condition, with light surface marks visible on the hammered finish that show its age while remaining a solid example for any vintage display. The American-made construction remains robust, preserving the classic teardrop profile designed for casting and trolling applications.
