I had chatted with a friend about this one, and suggested a low end of $8,000, with $12,000 at the top of the range. Looks like I sold it short, by $1,500.

Bottom line -- awful photos; lousy crystal; some dirt; but otherwise, might have been close to a "time capsule" model.

Rich, as always, has provided a nice hierarchy / tiered approach to the 1960s Autavias. The 2446Cs are most common of these 1960s Autavias, and if they have settled into the $7,000 to $9,000 range, then we count up from there, for the screw-back models.

: Maybe a record for a non mint std 3rd exec, at least on eBay
