Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Rok't Devle, 1 1/4oz Crystal Golden Crystal fishing spoon #0651

Hammered gold textures shimmer across the surface of this vintage specimen, highlighting the classic Crystal Golden Crystal color pattern. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length and weighing a substantial 1 1/4 oz (36 g), this Dardevle Rok't Devle is engineered for casting distance and depth. Eppinger has been producing these lures since 1906, using proprietary dies to create the iconic concave profile that made them a staple in Michigan tackle boxes and even military survival kits. This particular lure, listed under product code 0651, is stamped with the "ROK'T" mark on its face. The metallic finish shows soft signs of its journey with a few small dark spots, maintaining a beautiful luster that earns a 4/5 condition rating. It comes equipped with a large, original silver-tone treble hook attached by a robust split ring, and features a single line-tie hole at the tapered end.
