Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Midget, 3/16oz Black / White / Nickel fishing spoon #12850

Weighing in at a nimble 3/16oz (6g), this vintage spoon represents the craftsmanship Lou Eppinger brought to the angling world from his Michigan workshop. The front face of this 1 1/2" (3.5cm) lure features a sharp diagonal color scheme where a clean white band cuts between two deep black fields. An embossed dolphin logo sits prominently on that white stripe, a subtle indicator of the brand's storied production history. Flipping the lure over reveals the "DARDEVLE MIDGET U.S.A." stamp impressed directly into the polished nickel backing. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 12850, is in 5/5 condition, retaining its original luster and crisp paint lines. It comes rigged with its original treble hook and split ring, prepared for a display case or a light-tackle setup. The line-tie hole is precisely punched at the narrow end, highlighting the consistency of the proprietary dies used in their USA-based manufacturing.
