Museum Archive: Vintage Weber Gypsy King 0, 2/5oz nickel/copper fishing spoon #21525

Finished with a classic two-tone nickel and copper plating, this vintage spoon from Weber showcases a time-tested design for multi-species angling. Measuring 2 1/4" (6.0 cm) and weighing in at 2/5 oz (11.0 g), it carries the "Gypsy King 0" hallmark stamped directly into the copper-colored underside. The specimen shows light signs of use but remains in a solid 4/5 condition, maintaining its metallic luster on both sides. Weber, an American manufacturer based in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, crafted these spoons with a single front line-tie hole and a sturdy treble hook attached via a split ring at the rear. The teardrop profile is designed for casting or trolling in various freshwater environments, where the contrast between the silver-toned nickel top and the warm copper belly provides visual variety in different lighting conditions. This specific model, identified by product code 21525, is a well-preserved piece of USA-made tackle history.
