Anybody ever seen a Rapala like this

I got this Rapala from a yard sale. and have never seen one like it before. Just wondering if they are common in some other part of the country or not and if anyone had seen or used one like it. It has the coloring of the old Fat Rap but has a metal bill on it. Every one I have ever seen before has a plastic bill.

As much as I hate to say it I would be tempted to use that...I know it probly belongs on the wall.

Found one on ebay, had a 25.00 buy it now price on it. This guy had a rapala store, and had lots of lures that he wanted more than the metal billed one. He even had one with a 100.00 buy it now price. Can't believe some of the prices. I've got some old fat raps and some old risto raps still in boxes. Maybe I better start selling them on ebay.

There's a couple on ebay with the box, bid is 28.00 with six days to go.

i would guess to say that was a great find at a yard sell. i would also guess you could get a good price for it on e-bay. doug
