Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Rok’t Dardevle, 1 3/4oz Pearl fishing spoon #19292

Stamped with the Dearborn, MI mark on its polished silver reverse, this specimen represents the post-1959 production era after Eppinger moved from Detroit. This Rok’t Dardevle, cataloged under product code 19292, is a heavy-duty spoon measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) and weighing in at 1 3/4 oz (50g). The finish is a matte pearl base decorated with soft, blended pastel spots of pink, yellow, and blue, featuring the iconic devil head logo clearly printed near the top. It remains in 5/5 condition, displaying a very clean surface and well-preserved hardware including a large, sturdy treble hook and split ring. This larger profile is often favored by anglers targeting big northern pike or lake trout where a substantial presence is required in the water column. The classic oblong shape and concave belly are hallmarks of the American-made Eppinger design that has been a tackle box standard for over a hundred years.
