Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Midget, 3/16oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #7691

Five red diamond shapes set against a vibrant yellow background characterize the classic "Five of Diamonds" pattern on this Eppinger Dardevle Midget. Weighing 3/16 oz (6 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) in length, this spoon represents a scaled-down version of the legendary design born in Detroit. The concave surface and oblong shape are created using Eppinger's proprietary manufacturing dies, a tradition maintained since the company's early 20th-century origins. This specific specimen, identified by product code 7691, features the iconic devil head logo both on the card and centered on the lure's face. As an unused item with a condition rating of 6, it remains preserved in its original vintage bubble packaging. The stamped devil head logo provides a historical link to the brand's 1918 renaming in honor of the "Teufel Hunden" Marines of WWI. It comes rigged with a factory treble hook and a single mounting hole at the head for easy attachment to your leader or snap.
