Travelling salesmen, unknown (8)

I believe the answer is:

nameless

'unknown' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'travelling salesmen' is the wordplay.
'travelling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'salesmen' is an anagram of 'NAMELESS'.

(Other definitions for nameless that I've seen before include "This undistinguished" , "not easily identified?" , "Salesmen lacking identity" , "Difficult to describe" , "like the guy in the spaghetti movies?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
