Striking red and white enamel stripes define the face of this vintage spoon, accented by the iconic black devil head logo. Measuring a petite 1" (2.3 cm) and weighing just 1/16 oz (2 g), this ultra-light Dardevle Skeeter is a classic choice for panfish and trout. Still attached to its original Lou J. Eppinger Mfg. Co. display card from Dearborn, Michigan, the specimen represents the brand's production after its 1959 move from Detroit. The nickel-finished back provides a contrasting metallic flash against the bold painted surface during casting or jigging. This specimen remains unused, preserved within its clear plastic blister pack on the red-bordered card. Carrying product code 5837, the lure features a single hook securely attached via a split ring, designed for finesse presentations.
