Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Rok't Imp, 3/4oz Black / White / Copper fishing spoon #15542

Contrasting black and white stripes sweep across the front of this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) spoon, creating a high-visibility pattern suitable for varied water clarity. Weighing in at 3/4oz (21g), the Eppinger Dardevle Rok't Imp (Product Code 15542) features the iconic devil head logo stamped cleanly onto its enameled surface. The reverse side reveals a copper finish, clearly stamped with "ROK 'T - DEVLE IMP U.S.A.," signifying its American production. This specimen maintains a clean, bright appearance on both the painted face and the metallic back, earning a 5/5 condition rating. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring and a silver-toned treble hook. Based on the copper-backed design, this variant is particularly well-suited for stained water where the metallic flash complements the high-contrast stripes. Eppinger has utilized these specific proprietary dies since their move to Dearborn, Michigan, in 1959 to ensure the consistent shape of their lures.
