Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie, 1/3oz Red Devle fishing spoon #19967

Red and cream wave patterns characterize the face of this vintage 1/3 oz (9 g) casting spoon. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie (Product Code 19967) serves as a testament to Lou Eppinger’s enduring Detroit legacy. The front features the iconic black line drawing of the devil’s head, printed sharply against the cream-colored center stripe of the Red Devle color scheme. Turning the lure over reveals a polished silver back, deeply stamped with the DARDEVLE and SPINNIE branding. This American-made lure is equipped with its original brass-toned treble hook and a sturdy split ring. Aside from a minor fleck of paint loss near the bottom line-tie hole and along one side edge, the piece is in a very clean 5/5 condition. The finish remains glossy and the stamped text is highly legible.
