i have 2 that look like that. given to me by my g.f.'s boss. no hooks or wire though, they also look cleared. the through hole is gi-normous. he wanted me to paint them mackerel for him, think i'll do a spook and give them back. says they came from an early plug builder out of taunton mass. don't know the guy's name though.

no signature required.

My guess is it's a homemade but it looks just like a John Gibbs "Skipper". Definitly not a Ducharme Scud.
