Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle's Imp (1950s), 2/5oz Red Devle fishing spoon #22404

Stamped clearly on the metallic reverse with "DARDEVLE'S 'IMP' U.S.A.", this 1950s-era spoon reflects the high standards of mid-century American manufacturing. At a length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and a weight of 2/5 oz (11 g), it represents a classic size for anglers targeting a variety of freshwater species. The front is finished in the recognizable Red Devle pattern—a wavy cream stripe over a red field—complete with the famous devil head logo printed within the center. Carrying product code 22404, the lure features a traditional treble hook setup suitable for casting or trolling. The condition is rated 5/5, showing a clean aesthetic with small markings along the edges that highlight its vintage heritage.
