Hi Chris
Probably the rarest will be my earliest plug which is dated August 1915, which puts it in the first 50-60,000 made. The maker is TA&S and it's in really good condition. I do have three 23 MkIII plugs that are pretty scarce too.
I think my favourite is one I was given last year. It is a James Cycle Co 23 MkI plug dated 8/15. This is a total mystery as it is a whole year before the 23 MkI was introduced. It is not a fake, and is a field find from the Somme.
