Museum Archive: Vintage Weller Gypsy King 0, 2/5oz Copper fishing spoon #7022

Copper plating gives this classic spoon a warm, distinct glow that stands out in any vintage collection. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (11 g), the Gypsy King 0 from Weller is a staple of American tackle history. The model name is elegantly engraved in script on the concave face of the metal, a hallmark of this USA-made lure. This specimen, identified by product code 7022, is in 4/5 condition, showing light surface marks on the copper finish that reflect its age while the hardware remains sound. It is equipped with a sturdy treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail and has a clean line tie at the head. Anglers traditionally utilized these spoons for casting or trolling in various freshwater environments.
