The one marked "unknown" was once in my collection (I'm still kicking myself in the butt for getting rid of it!). It came out of a tackle shop on Martha's Vineyard with a bunch of plugs from the 40's - 50's. It's a "folk art" plug, not a factory made plug. I would say that it is one of the earliest attempts at a needlefish style plug. Floyd Roman came out with a plug called the Sandee in the mid 50's (maybe VB the resident Floyd Roman guru will verify the date for us), but I think this one is earlier than that.
