Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Klicker, 1oz fishing spoon #11542

Five bold red diamonds against a bright yellow background define the visual identity of this 3 1/2" (9cm) Eppinger specimen. Known as the Dardevle Klicker, product code 11542, this heavy-duty 1oz (28g) spoon features two small silver sonic blades mounted near the rear treble hook. These auxiliary blades are designed to make contact with the main body, creating a metallic clicking sound as the lure is retrieved. The gold-finished reverse side carries the clear stamp of "DARDEVLE DETROIT, U.S.A.", highlighting the heritage of Lou Eppinger’s Michigan-based company. High-quality hardware includes a large, silver-toned treble hook and robust split rings that remain in great shape. This example is beautifully preserved, showing a vibrant enamel finish and bright metal components, meriting a 5/5 condition rating. The black devil head logo sits centered among the diamond pattern, serving as the unmistakable mark of a genuine vintage Eppinger creation.
