Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Seadevle Imp, 1 1/3oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #14918

Five red diamonds set against a vibrant yellow enamel finish distinguish this 4" (10 cm) casting spoon as a quintessential piece of American tackle history. Stamped clearly on the brass-tone reverse with the "SEADEVLET" name and "DETROIT, U.S.A." origin, this specimen, bearing product code 14918, weighs in at 1 1/3 oz (40 g). The classic Eppinger devil head logo remains sharp on the concave face, positioned between the upper diamond patterns. This heavy-gauge metal lure is rigged with a stout single hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring, a configuration favored for its durability during trolling or deep casting. From a collector’s standpoint, the finish is exceptionally well-preserved with minimal signs of age, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. The Seadevle design represents a specific chapter in the manufacturer's Detroit heritage, utilizing a more elongated profile than the standard Dardevle to reach deeper water columns.
