Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle King Flutter Devle 3200, 1/3oz Yellow / Red / Nickel fishing spoon #2302

A vibrant fluorescent yellow finish with bold red dots defines the visual character of this specific specimen. Measuring 4" (10 cm) in length and weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), this Eppinger creation is a dedicated trolling tool. On the reverse, the clean nickel-plated surface is deeply stamped with the "KING FLUTTER DEVLE 3200" identification, while the face carries the iconic black Devil Head logo. This model, identified by Product Code 2302, features a thinner metal profile than standard casting spoons, allowing it to function at slower speeds. The condition is a solid 4/5, exhibiting bright paint and high-quality hardware. Since moving production to Dearborn, Michigan in 1959, Eppinger has maintained the tradition of using proprietary dies to strike these shapes, ensuring the consistency that collectors have relied on since Lou Eppinger's early days in Detroit. The large treble hook is attached via a robust split ring, ready for the water.
