Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Seadevle, 2 1/2oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #5397

Stamped with the "SEADEVLE DETROIT" mark on its nickel-finished reverse, this piece reflects Eppinger’s production history from their early Michigan era. This Dardevle Seadevle, listed under product code 5397, measures 5 3/4" (14.5 cm) and carries a weight of 2 1/2 oz (74 g). The front displays the timeless red and white stripe pattern, accompanied by the signature devil logo near the hook eye. A 4/5 condition rating reflects minor surface marks and light wear, showing it was a functional part of an angler's kit while remaining well-preserved. The construction features the classic oblong shape and concave face known for producing a distinct wobbling motion during a retrieve. Built in the USA, the lure is finished with a large treble hook suited for heavy-duty casting or trolling.
