Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie, 1/3oz Red Devle fishing spoon #24350

Red Devle enamel provides the primary visual identity for this specimen, showcasing the legendary red and white striped pattern that has defined Eppinger's output for over a century. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), the Dardevle Spinnie measures a compact 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), making it a versatile choice for casting. The concave side reveals the characteristic stamped devil graphic, a signature mark of the company that moved from Detroit to Dearborn in 1959. This specific lure carries the product code 24350. The finish is remarkably well-preserved, reflecting a condition rating of 5/5. To the rear, a sturdy silver-toned treble hook is securely attached via a split ring, standard hardware for these American-made spoons. The metal body is formed using proprietary dies, a method the Eppinger family has maintained to ensure consistency across their 65 different styles of lures.
