The photo below was submitted to the Rickenbacker Registration Page for identification a couple of days ago and it has been identified, thanks to the kind assistance of Richard Schatz. It's a J-6 which was made 1957-1961. It also was available in a kind of bronze color finish. It was replaced by the J-8 in 1961, and that was only produced for about a year or so. It is not known how many of these were produced. These models seem a little up-scale from the 100 series that were produced before, during and after the J series.

Thanks to Richard Schatz there are a number of closeup photos at the link below of a circa 1957 J6 Steel Circa 1957 Model J6 Steel
