Museum Archive: Weller Gypsy King 0, 2/5oz Black / White / Nickel fishing spoon #2800

A striking white wavy stripe cuts across the deep black enamel of this classic spoon's convex face. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), this specific Weller Gypsy King 0, identified by product code 2800, remains preserved on its original dealer card from the Erwin Weller Co. of Sioux City, Iowa. This Deluxe model features a bright nickel-plated reverse and was designed for targeting bass, pike, and trout. The specimen is unused, appearing just as it did when it left the factory decades ago. The vintage carding displays the iconic cursive Weller logo and green lakeside graphics typical of mid-century American tackle. A sharp treble hook is mounted at the rear, while a simple wire attachment points to its intended use for casting or trolling setups.
