1948 OA Handbook Hardbound Edition – The Finale

About 10 days ago I wrote about an eBay auction for what is probably the most difficult OA Handbook, a hardbound version from 1948.  When I wrote about the auction, it stood at $ 170 with over two days remaining.

What do you think it ended at?

You can see the results after the jump.

1948 OA Handbook Hardbound Edition

There is an auction for a 1948 Hardback OA Handbook.  This is probably the single toughest OA  Handbook in existence.   The seller claims only 10 were made, my understanding is the number is more like 100.  However, who knows how many still exist today.

Clicking on the image will bring you to the auction for the next few months.

As you can see, with a couple of days left, the auction is already over $ 170.00.  I have no idea how this will end up.  As far as I can remember, this is the only Hardbound version I have ever seen listed.

If your interested in collecting OA Handbooks, you can find a copy of my OA Handbook Checklist here.
