David Steinberg notes:

From Flip Koski: This puzzle's constructor is likely Eugene T. Maleska, based on the entry HARDSHELL CRAB. In her Introduction to Maleska's book "Across and Down," Margaret Farrar expressly referenced Maleska as having constructed a puzzle with the entry HARDSHELLED CRAB. The only Times puzzle with that entry is this crossword of October 7, 1950.
