Identification on the back of the lure clearly shows the 'DARDEVLE SPINNIE' stamp, a classic mark of Eppinger’s manufacturing history in the USA. The Black Devle color scheme presents a high-contrast look, featuring a deep black finish split by a cream diagonal stripe that hosts the classic devil head logo. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm), the spoon’s body shows some light wear around the edges, contributing to an honest 4/5 condition rating. The original treble hook remains attached, showing the typical darkening and texture found on well-preserved vintage hardware. For collectors who appreciate simple engineering, this 1/3oz (9g) specimen, cataloged under product code 18771, remains a staple piece of mid-century tackle.
