Is it that rare?

Frying pans in general aren't as rare as people think- having been in production for over 20-years.

...but this one is pretty early- so maybe the steel guitar folks were chasing it.

RetroFret in NYC sold one for around that.
Remember that even though the A22 had a long production span, those made before the war are significantly different and rarer to boot.
Wonder what an A25 sells for these days; they sound way better...
