Museum Archive: Vintage Weller Gypsy King Deluxe, 3/64oz nickel/white/black fishing spoon #23599

At a mere 3/64oz (1.5g), the petite profile of this metal spoon represents a classic era of American ultra-light tackle design. The Weller Gypsy King Deluxe, identified by product code 23599, features a 1" (2.7cm) teardrop-shaped body finished in the iconic red and white wavy pattern on its face. Flip the lure over to reveal a polished nickel reverse side, a common feature in mid-century spoons intended to provide high-flash visibility during casting or trolling. The hardware remains original, featuring a clean treble hook linked securely by a split ring. This specimen earns a 5/5 condition rating, showing no signs of paint loss or metal oxidation across the stamped metal body.
