Rapala 7 S help (1950's)

[nautal]

Hello all,
I am new to the board but an enthusiast.  I was wondering I have had this Fly for a while. I found it in a old tackle box.
I am not sure but it looks brand new, never seen the water. However, it is in an Rapala box, the end says 7cm, 2 3/4", 7 S, color hopea silver, blue/green box, celluloid cover, inside it says 1 prize 1950, 1 prize 1954, and on the bottom of the inside its in finnish, so I cant read it. but it is also says Lauri Rapala JA, Pojat, Vaaksy. I believe that someone stuck a fly in the box or did Rapala actually make flys?
thanks for the help.

Sorry. No Rapala flys made. Some one must have stuck it in side the box. What was in that box was either a Countdown or Original floater. And at that date you mentioned, I think it could only have been a Original floater.
