What I find interesting is the "H". Wouldn't that have been long changed when this was made? That "H" pic is a bit blurry.... hmm. Interesting!

I'm thinking this is late '40s, or very early '50s; transitional. Has the later routing/shaping style and layout, but hammertone paint and "H" sticker. Also "flying saucer" knobs.

You guys are getting as sick as I am about these things.
That's good.
It's a mid 50s model 100 and it does have a Rickenbacher (with an h) decal.
The decal logos with the h spelling were made in large quantities after WW2 and even though the name officially changed spelling in the late 40s, they had a lot of decals left and the guess is that the remainder were used on the remaining production of A22s and early model 100s.
