Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Rok’t Dardevle, 1 3/4oz Perch fishing spoon #19305

Heavy-duty at 1 3/4 oz (50 g), this casting spoon is built for significant depth and distance. The "Perch" color scheme presents a classic hexagonal scale pattern transitioning through orange, yellow, and green tones along the 3 1/2" (9 cm) body. A distinct black devil head logo marks the front, while the polished metal back features a crisp "DARDEVLE DEARBORN MI." stamp. This marking identifies the lure as a post-1959 production piece from Eppinger’s Michigan facility. The hardware includes a heavy-gauge bronzed treble hook secured by a thick split ring, emphasizing its utility for targeting large freshwater predators. Designated by product code 19305, this specific specimen displays exceptional preservation, earning a condition rating of 5/5. The concave inner surface is reflective and clean, highlighting the quality of the proprietary American dies used in the manufacturing process.
