Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie, 1/3oz Black / White / Nickel fishing spoon #14874

Exactly 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, the metal body of this Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie shows the classic teardrop shape developed in Michigan. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), the spoon is finished with high-contrast black and white stripes applied over a polished nickel base. The iconic devil head logo is subtly stamped into the front surface beneath the enamel. Flipping the lure over reveals the 'DARDEVLE SPINNIE U.S.A.' hallmark, stamped deeply into the concave nickel back using the manufacturer's proprietary dies. Registered under product code 14874, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, featuring a clean finish and its original treble hook hardware. A sturdy split ring secures the hook to the tail, while the head features a single punched hole for the line tie. The contrast between the dark enamel and the reflective metal back is sharp and well-defined across the entire 1/3 oz (9 g) frame.
