Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie , 1/3oz Green / White / Nickel fishing spoon #14348

Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), this American-made spoon showcases the classic white vertical stripe layered over a deep green enamel. This Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie, cataloged as Product Code 14348, measures a compact 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and features the brand's signature devil head graphic near the top. The backside is finished in a bright nickel plating and is clearly stamped with the "DARDEVLE SPINNY U.S.A." mark, a hallmark of Lou Eppinger’s Dearborn-based production. Its concave construction is designed to produce a wobbling motion when retrieved through the water column. This specific specimen maintains a crisp appearance with minimal wear, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook secured by a metal ring, ready for the water or a collector’s display.
