Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Junior Flutter Devle, 3/16oz Clown fishing spoon #21004

Bright yellow paint punctuated by bold red dots defines the classic Clown pattern on this lightweight trolling and casting spoon. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, the Dardevle Junior Flutter Devle weighs 3/16 oz (5 g) and features a thinner metal profile compared to standard heavyweight casting spoons. The front face is stamped with the recognizable black devil logo, while the polished chrome-finish reverse bears the clear stampings of "JR FLUTTER DEVLE," "DETROIT-USA," and model number #3100. Eppinger-made craftsmanship is evident in this specimen, listed under product code 21004, which carries its original hardware including a sharp treble hook secured by a split ring. The surface finish is remarkably clean and vibrant, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Lettering on the back is exceptionally crisp, reflecting the manufacturing standards of the Detroit, USA factory.
