my cousin has this older o’neil board which might be from early 60’s. i finally got him to send me some pics and i am asking if any one on here could help out with dating the board and what value it might have. i will get him to send a full length shot of the board ASAP, tho it took him 6 months to send me these. thanks in advance for any assistance.
I would guess '63 or '64, maybe?
