Museum Archive: Eppinger Weedless Dardevle Imp, 2/5oz Fire Tiger / Brass fishing spoon #15137

Vibrant Fire Tiger patterns cover the surface of this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spoon, providing high visibility in various water conditions. Weighing 2/5 oz (11g), this "Imp" size model is equipped with a single hook and a wire weed guard, specifically intended for navigating through thick vegetation or timber. The brass-backed body carries the classic devil head stamp, a trademark of the Eppinger company which has been manufacturing these lures in Michigan since 1906. This 15137 product is preserved in its original retail packaging, reflecting the heritage of a design once trusted in military survival kits. You can see the lure is unused, with the finish and hardware remaining exactly as they were when the piece left the proprietary dies.
