Great Russo!
Charles Russo was involved in a number of plug making companies, including his own under his name. He was also the silent partner in the Snook Bait Co., which produced many plugs that obviously have similarities to Russo's.
This is a beautiful example of a Russo flaptail, worth a pretty penny. If it came with the correct box in good shape, its value really goes up. In fact, I think that anyone who doesn't collect and know its value would be shocked at the figures - I know I was!
