Stamped clearly on the nickel body is the "JOHNNIE O'NEIL WEED WING MADE IN USA" mark, signaling its authentic 1957 Akron, Ohio roots. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) and weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this specialized surface lure was Johnnie O’Neil's signature creation, eventually receiving a patent in 1962. The condition of this specimen is 5/5, exhibiting a bright and clean reflective surface that highlights the unique wing-like front propeller. This design, cataloged as product code 9326, utilizes a single hook protected by a wire weed guard intended for fishing through thick vegetation. Before the brand was acquired by Harrison Industries in the mid-1960s, these original O'Neil versions were meticulously crafted to navigate lily pads and weeds. The hardware is secure, and the distinctive wing shape remains true to its original mid-century manufacturing standards.
