Museum Archive: Eppinger Dardevle Kit, 1oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #4694

Red and white striped finishes paired with nickel backs highlight the versatility of the Eppinger Dardevle Kit, identified by product code 4694. This specific collection contains five spoons of graduated sizes, all carefully preserved in their original presentation box from the Dearborn, Michigan, era. Each lure features the famous devil head stamp and robust hardware, including traditional treble hooks. At a total weight of 1oz (28g), the set provides a range of options suitable for different depths and casting conditions. These spoons are unused, maintaining a condition rating of 6 with no signs of wear on the painted surfaces or the metal. The Dearborn address on the packaging dates this set to the period after 1959, reflecting the time when Lou Eppinger's basement-born company had become a global standard for game fish lures. The concave shape of the nickel-plated metal is engineered for a consistent wobble during a steady retrieve, making them effective for both casting and trolling applications.
