Museum Archive: Vintage Weller Gypsy King 0, 2/5oz Red / White / Nickel fishing spoon #8509

Stamped into the bright nickel-plated underside is the "Gypsy King" name, marking this 2 1/4" (6 cm) spoon as a genuine piece of Weller history from the USA. Identified by product code 8509, the lure is finished with a traditional red and white diagonal stripe pattern on its topside. With a weight of 2/5 oz (11 g), it serves as a robust option for casting near structure or trolling through open water. The hardware remains in excellent shape, featuring a sturdy treble hook. This specimen is rated 5/5, showing very well-preserved paint and a clean metal surface. The line-tie hole at the narrow end is cleanly bored through the solid metal body.
