Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie, 1/3oz Pearl fishing spoon #19750

Weighing exactly 1/3 oz (9 g), this vintage casting spoon showcases the iconic craftsmanship of a brand that has been a tackle box staple since 1906. The Pearl finish on this Dardevle Spinnie is a vibrant blend of pastel pink, blue, and yellow hues, centered by the unmistakable black devil head logo. This 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) lure, identified by Product Code 19750, features a deep concave surface on its stamped metal body. On the reverse, the "DARDEVLE SPINNIE U.S.A." engraving remains crisp and clear, reflecting the heritage of the Eppinger company’s Michigan-based production. The condition is exceptional, rated at 5/5, with the original hardware and treble hook showing minimal signs of age. This specific model is designed for a variety of water conditions, with the light-catching finish intended to draw attention during a steady retrieve. A strong split ring connects the rear hook, ensuring the lure is as functional as it is collectible.
