Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie, 1/3oz Red / White fishing spoon #7747

A nickel-plated back offers high visibility for this 1/4 oz (7 g) casting spoon, a specific feature designed for maximum flash during the retrieve. Identified as product code 7747, this Eppinger Dardevle Spinnie carries the iconic red and white striped finish that collectors immediately recognize. The small "Imp" logo is cleanly stamped in black on the central white stripe, mirroring the larger devil graphic on the original red card. This specimen measures 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) and is unused, still sealed in its vintage blister pack from the Eppinger Manufacturing Company in Dearborn, Michigan. The packaging identifies this model as a "Spinnie," and while the cardboard backing shows slight signs of age from storage, the lure remains in pristine state. It comes equipped with a single treble hook attached via a metal split ring, consistent with the durable American craftsmanship established by the brand over a century ago.
