Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Red Eye Evil Eye, 1/3oz Silver / Blue / Red Eyes fishing spoon #4849

A bold blue lightning bolt graphic stretches across the polished silver body of this 3 1/2" (9cm) trolling spoon, a classic design from the American manufacturer Eppinger. Carrying product code 4849, the specimen features a distinctive red bead secured near the top eyelet and a painted red and black target eye on the reverse side near the hook. At a weight of 1/3oz (9g), the lure's stamped metal construction remains crisp, showing light signs of use that merit a 4/5 condition rating. A single large hook is attached to the tail via a sturdy split ring, highlighting the robust hardware typical of vintage USA-made tackle. The metallic silver finish on both sides is designed to catch light while being pulled through the water column, and the manufacturer's stamp remains visible on the concave interior.
