An A22 frypan ca)1934 just went for $4695 on Ebay.
This is not even one of the earliest examples. Those should easily be worth twice that amount.
I think some collectors are finally beginning to see the historical importance of these the earliest production electric string instruments.

Interesting, Richard. I've many other instruments follow this path, from no interest to valueable beyond belief..I wonder what's next?

I know very little about Rickenbacker steels, but here's a frying pan for sale in Toronto, (you'll have to scroll down a bit).
