Any idea how long ago ? Thanx...

I got Hook brothers 1935-53



The Hook bros being pressed eye is a later production plug,I would guess the Rosegard is from the same time frame(1950's). Martin bought Rosegard like so many other plug makers as the market dwindled,and you could still find Rosegards packaged in a plastic bag with a Martin lable up until Martin closed up shop in the 80's
