A hammered metal finish provides multi-directional light reflection on this 3/16 oz (5.3 g) spoon, a hallmark of the Eppinger Dardevle Midget Crystal. Identified by product code 4288, this specimen features the discontinued Crystal finish, characterized by its dimpled texture and stamped devil head logo. Measuring 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in length, the lure is an ideal size for light tackle applications targeting trout or panfish. The packaging displays the company's historical Dearborn, Michigan address on Schaefer Highway, dating this piece to the latter half of the 20th century before the finish was phased out in the 1980s. The specimen is unused and remains in its original blister pack, showing the bright nickel-colored back designed for high-visibility clear water fishing. Condition: 6.
