    Quoted from their site – Rapala: The world’s favorite lure since 1936.

    They have been making lures since 1936. So, they are on their 73rd year this year.

    Many sellers and collectors use eBay as a source of selling/buying their vintage lures.

    Ebay, if they are in excellent condition. particularly in their boxes.
    even if not but you may have to sell poorer specimens as a lot for somewat less moneythan you may be hoping for.
    put a link on answers if you do decide to do so and a lot of us here will take a look. l will.

    Rapala started making lures in 1936. Their first lure was very successful, a floater called the "Magnum", and they grew from there.

    Best place to sell vintage lures? Believe it or not, my answer would be Ebay!

    In 1936 Rapala made a fishing lure carved from cork, in 1959 they began manufacturing fishing lures and selling them. This is all i could really find about rapalas history.
