Gold and white finishes define the visual identity of this specimen, cataloged under product code 6552. Eppinger, the storied USA manufacturer, utilized a 3 1/2" (9 cm) elongated body for this specific Red Eye Evil Eye trolling model. Tipping the scales at 1/3 oz (9 g), the spoon features a dual-sided design where the gold-plated front is embossed with a silver skeletal pattern ending at a bright red faceted gem. On the reverse, the lure transitions to a clean white base accented by a printed red eye and an additional red jewel inset. The single hook configuration suggests a focus on reducing snags while maintaining a solid hookset on larger game. Rated at a 4/5 for condition, the hardware and finish remain well-preserved, showcasing the durability synonymous with vintage American metalware.
