Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Midget, 3/16oz Red Devle fishing spoon #19130

Stamping on the silver-finished back clearly identifies this 1 1/2" (3.5cm) spoon as a Dardevle Midget made in the U.S.A. This specimen, cataloged under product code 19130, features the classic Red Devle pattern—a red finish split by a white diagonal stripe. Centered on that white stripe is the black devil head logo, a mark that has signaled quality since Lou Eppinger began crafting lures in Michigan. Weighing 3/16oz (6g), the lure’s concave, oblong shape is designed to produce a wobbling motion during retrieval. The silver plating on the reverse remains bright, while the painted face shows light evidence of use with some minor paint chips along the perimeter, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. The hardware consists of a treble hook attached via a split ring, showing the same honest history as the body of the spoon.
