This is what I have.

2 sizes wood atomjr
I have the small one 1.9oz
and an unfinished body from the larger one
shown with a BM atom jr

the little one I have has a small thin weight pushed alongside the through wire (1.25"x 3/16" pushed in from the tail and abutting the back belly hook).

the lip is pretty close to one #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& sells, though I think the larger version may have carried a bigger lip.

Eddy.........."I once had a dandy loaded plug: a loaded Junior Atom, a type Bob Pond made only a few of. Three ounces it weighed and sank like a rock." Rest of the story is the same. Page 177, "Striper Surf", FD.

Stripermaineiac, if you are willing to send me one I'll gladly xray it and return it. If not, could you please tell us what your originals weighed and what size lip they carried. Thanks.

Eddie, I have some of those wooden bodies and a bunch of the lips. Sounds like that plug worked because the bass was deep and luck.
