Hi.

if you give me the price for F5 from the paper inside, i can get you a good estimate.

a vintage collector may be able to date the thing by the box; i think these have been used only for a couple years.

best,

found a date on the paper its 1984
ps what is the price today for this lure

[cdj711]

well, if you have an F18 collector who wants to have for a complete set of GFR, i guess it could go about $20. i have 6 different versions of F18 G, and i guess there may be several more, which might be true for all the "old" colors: S G B P SFC GFR.
here in germany, and all over europe they stopped selling the F18 in 2008 or 09; so you may even get a good price from a fisherman. but since these are still offered in the states, nobody will pay more than the price of a new F18 there, i think.
and with date 1984 it is "too young" to be put in the class of real vintage lures, which i think should be made in the 60s or 70; but then this is just my opinion, and i have seen DRFR or ristos called "vintage" ...
best,
w.
