Silver glitter texture covers the central portion of this 2 1/4" (6 cm) metal lure, creating a high-contrast look against the white-painted body. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this Eppinger Wingbat (Product Code 18759) is a specialized member of the Dardevle family, produced by the Eppinger Mfg. Co. out of Dearborn, Michigan. The construction includes a secondary nickel-finished blade attached to the top of the main body and a sharp treble hook. This specimen is unused, preserved in its original vintage packaging which showcases the classic blue, white, and green branding. The "Wingbat" name is printed prominently on the header, identifying it as a distinct variant within the manufacturer's historic catalog of spoon-style lures.
