Obscure Old Lures

I've been asking a few questions to ID some old lures I have from the 70's to the 90's on Lure Lovers forum. I thought there may be some interest here also, so I'll post some up as I learn what they are.

First one is from the early 70's and is a Flopy by Rublex of France. It's a rubber hollow one making it one of the early models, as they were made of solid rubber later on. Said to be a popular lure for targeting bass back in the day. Maybe @Dinodadog and @rayke1938 are familiar with them ??

Interesting lures thanks mate. 

I don't think I will ever have antique lures... no matter how old I get... always covered in rust from lure abuse... When I die I am sure that I will be perched at the top of the best fishing spot I have ever seen, fish jumping everywhere, and forced to rummage through boxes and boxes of rusty, once serviceable lures...

Here's one that no one can figure yet. Someone did suggest it could be a Gidgee lure, but I don't think it is. @rayke1938, I seem to remember he was a member here many moons ago and that you may have got a few. I did too, but they are not quite the same. What do you reckon ?

I can't make out the writing underneath.
