It is a PNC-40H rubber nose cone. The 1964 Estes catalog lists it along with two other cones as plastic. Only one is actually plastic as it was from a firework. See www.ninfinger.org. It also shows up in the 1963 catalog, but appears to be mislisted as weighting 0.07 ounce. The 1964 catalog shows a more believable 0.40 ounce.
I believe that these nose cones originated with Model Missiles, Inc. Hopefully someone can either confirm or disprove that.
