Museum Archive: Vintage Weller Gypsy King Deluxe, 1/16oz nickel/white/black fishing spoon #23598

Weighing a precise 1/16 oz (1.7 g), this small-profile spoon features a bright nickel-finished teardrop blade. The Weller Gypsy King Deluxe (product code 23598) is a classic USA-made lure designed for finesse applications, measuring 1" (2.7 cm) in total length. Its single hook is dressed with hand-tied feathers in a barred pattern, blending shades of yellow, black, and cream, tied off with a signature red thread collar. This specimen is in excellent 5/5 condition, with the metal retaining its original luster and the hackle remaining full and intact. The dressing is attached to the blade via a sturdy split ring, allowing the components to move independently during casting or a slow retrieve.
