Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevlet, 3/4oz White / Black fishing spoon #0026

A bold white stripe runs down the center of this 3/4 oz (22 g) spoon, framed by deep black sections that provide a sharp visual contrast. Stamped clearly in the center is the iconic devil-head logo, identifying it as a genuine Eppinger creation from their long history of American manufacturing. This Dardevlet, cataloged under product code 0026, measures 2 3/4 inches (7 cm) and retains its original hardware, including the split ring and treble hook. The painted surface shows honest wear and slight loss around the perimeter and near the hook, leading to a 3/5 condition rating. This particular color pattern was designed for visibility in various water conditions, making it a functional piece of Detroit angling history.
