A weight of 3/16 oz (6 g) establishes this specimen as a versatile choice for light casting or trolling. The face is finished in a bright orange enamel accented by five black spots and a distinctive dark red diagonal chevron. Centered on the red portion is the classic Eppinger devil head logo, a symbol of the Michigan-based company's heritage since 1906. Measuring 1 1/2 inches (3.5 cm) in length, the spoon features a polished nickel back clearly stamped with "DARDEVLE MIDGET U.S.A." This item, identified by product code 12829, is in excellent shape, rated at 5/5 for its well-preserved paint and original hardware. The construction includes a standard split ring at the rear paired with a sharp treble hook, maintaining the factory setup. Each curve of the metal is shaped by proprietary dies that have defined the Eppinger lineup for generations.
