Featuring a sparkling white finish with distinctive silver glitter accents, this specimen remains secured in its original blue and green Eppinger blister pack. The Wingbat model is a unique departure from standard spoons, utilizing two silver-toned blades attached to the forward section of the body to create its signature winged profile. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), the lure is a product of the Eppinger Mfg. Co. based in Dearborn, Michigan, a company legendary among anglers for their Dardevle line. This particular item, identified by product code 21284, is unused and retains its original hardware, including a sharp treble hook and sturdy split rings. The vintage packaging even preserves the distributor's stamp area, marking it as a well-preserved piece of American tackle history. Metal construction and a solid white base color suggest it was designed for high visibility in various water conditions.
