Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle King Flutter Devle 3200, 1/3oz Red Devle fishing spoon #21005

Measuring a substantial 4" (10 cm), this thin-profile spoon represents a classic piece of Michigan fishing history. The specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showcasing a clean finish that collectors really look for in vintage Eppinger tackle. Its iconic Red Devle pattern features a crisp white center stripe flanked by bold red, a signature look from the manufacturer’s Detroit era. Flipping the lure over reveals the stamped lettering "KING FLUTTER DEVLE DETROIT USA," which anchors its production to the company's early years before their move to Dearborn in 1959. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the construction is light relative to its length, designed specifically for trolling or slow-retrieve casting applications. This piece, identified by product code 21005, is rigged with a single large treble hook and a sturdy split ring at the head.
