Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Skeeter , 1/32oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #8510

Measuring exactly 0 3/4" (2.2cm), this miniature classic has been a staple for ultra-light enthusiasts for decades. This Eppinger Dardevle Skeeter, identified by product code 8510, features the iconic red and white striped enamel finish on its convex side, a design synonymous with the brand since Lou Eppinger's early days in Detroit. Weighing only 1/32oz (1g), the spoon's specific oblong shape and concave surface are achieved through Eppinger's proprietary manufacturing dies to create a distinct wobbling action during retrieval. The reverse side features a clean nickel finish, stamped with the model name and USA origin. This specimen is in excellent condition, warranting a rating of 5/5. The original hardware, including a small treble hook, remains securely attached to the trailing end.
