Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger King Flutter Devle 3200, 1/3oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #1592

Nickel / Blue coloring splits the surface of this slender trolling spoon, creating a distinct visual contrast between the polished metal and the deep blue pigment. Stamped clearly on the concave side is "KING FLUTTER DEVLE DETROIT USA 3200," identifying its origins from the Eppinger workshop in Michigan. Measuring 4" (10 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), its thin-gauge construction is purpose-built for trolling applications rather than heavy casting. This specimen, listed under product code 1592, remains in excellent state, earning a 5/5 condition rating for its bright, mirror-like nickel finish and deep blue upper coat. A silver-tone treble hook is secured to the tail via a split ring, maintaining the original profile of this American-made tackle.
