Museum Archive: Vintage Weller GYPSY KING 1, 3/5oz Gold fishing spoon #2504

Stamped clearly on the underside is the GYPSY KING mark, identifying this classic American-made spoon produced by the Weller company. Carrying a condition rating of 5/5, the gold finish on this specimen remains bright and reflects light across its entire 2 3/4" (7cm) body. A weight of 3/5oz (17g) gives the lure enough mass for long-distance casting or reaching lower water columns during a steady retrieve. The hardware includes a sturdy, dark-finished treble hook attached to the rear of the spoon by a simple split ring. For the database, this specific item is cataloged under product code 2504 and represents a well-preserved piece of USA-made tackle history. The stamping on the metal is deep and legible, denoting the size number 1 below the model name.
