Museum Archive: Vintage Weller GYPSY KING 0, 2/5oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #3450

Red and white wavy enamel adorns the face of this 2 1/4" (6 cm) spoon, a design that has defined the Weller lineup for generations. Weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), the GYPSY KING 0 features a polished nickel reverse side where the model name is clearly stamped into the metal. This specific item, cataloged as product code 3450, arrived in a 4/5 condition, retaining its original luster with only minor signs of its history visible on the nickel plating. The hardware consists of a split ring and a vintage treble hook, both showing the character expected of a well-maintained piece from the USA. Bright metal on the back provides a stark contrast to the bold painted wave pattern found on the front of the spoon.
