A very rare and sought after piece, this unique shaped Wee Dee in frog pattern (series 4819) was created in 1936, but gone right after WWII. Created to replace the Weed Bug, it comes with 3 single hooks, 2 wire weed guards (one is missing, but can probably be created or replaced), a long wire line tie, 2 glass eyes positioned on the top of the head. There is a small chip on the corner of both sides of the chin, the right rear, and the top right left of the bait. For the most part, bright and shiny and highly displayable. In comes in a solid correctly stamped 4819 box and the famous old man on the pier pocket catalog that comes in full color. Here is a complete set for somebody's collection that will be the envy of your fellow CCB collectors.

This is a vintage R.L. Winston graphite Fly Fishing Rod. The label on the rod reads THE WINSTON ROD R.L. WINSTON ROD CO. SAN FRANCISCO CALIF. I don't know when they moved there rod making to Montana, but apparently this rod was made before they moved. This is a dainty little 7 foot 4 inch #4, 1 5/8 oz. rod, the tube is also a Winston, but has the Twin Bridges Montana address, so I don't know for sure if it went with this rod, the sock is just marked R.L. Winston Rods. The condition is just amazing, looks like it was used just a few times, I would call it near mint, not counting the tube. The only 'wear' I see at all is a little dirt on the cork handle. It would be hard to find a nicer-vintage Winston rod. If I didn't have 4 fly rods I would keep this one. Check my other auctions for some other great fishing items from a few estate sales. I am listing a vintage sila flex fiberglass fly rod, a old pflueger medalist reel, and lots of other reels. High bidder to pay $13.00 for shipping, More outside the USA. I will give a break on shipping if you win more than one item.
