Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie, 1/3oz Five of Diamonds fishing spoon #4063

Five red diamonds contrast sharply against the bright yellow enamel of this classic casting spoon. At a weight of 1/3 oz (9 g) and a length of 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this Dardevle Spinnie is a versatile choice for light to medium tackle. The concave oblong body is a hallmark of the Eppinger manufacturing process in the USA, featuring a secure split ring connecting the sharp treble hook. On the yellow face, the iconic black devil head logo is clearly visible, while the brass-toned reverse side bears the stamped "DARDEVLE SPINIE U.S.A." mark. This specific color pattern, widely recognized among collectors and anglers alike, honors the heritage Lou Eppinger established in 1906. Cataloged under product code 4063, this particular lure remains in a very well-preserved 4/5 condition.
