Museum Archive: Vintage Weller Gypsy King Deluxe, 1/16oz brass fishing spoon #22968

Weighing in at a delicate 1/16 oz (1.7 g), this brass-finished spoon serves as a testament to the finesse fishing gear of yesteryear. The Weller Gypsy King Deluxe, cataloged under product code 22968, features a teardrop-shaped profile engineered for light-line applications and ultralight casting. Its polished brass surface provides a natural metallic flash, mimicking small forage. A robust treble hook is linked to the 1 1/4" (3 cm) body by a clean split ring, ensuring reliable sets on smaller target species. Originating from the USA, the build quality reflects the traditional manufacturing standards of the Weller company. This specimen holds a condition rating of 5/5, remaining in an unused state with a clear, reflective finish. The head of the lure is finished with a precisely drilled attachment point for direct line connection or a small snap.
