Are you confused yet Pancake???Looks like your getting "flipped" right over,Does that qualify as a lame DADS" joke???.Ok...YES it means exactly that.Its like anything generally,They start of small (production)and continually grow.Since the first bases were steel,the numbers are less than that of the model 4 and 5(edger slot)as you say.Victas boom time came with the series 5 and numbers were very large.But if you combine all the steel bases there were quite a few,7 to be exact.As was stated,the first 3 are the rarest,very few remain and are highly prized by collectors...BUT in my opinion as I stated the model 2 is probably the model that has the most remaining.If I was to put the BIG 7 in order of value I would say "billy cart"...Fan 1...Fan 2...Model 1 Rotomo...Model 2a Rotomo...Model 2 Rotomo Then last The model 3 Rotomo.I place the 2a ahead of the model 2 simply because of its production run of 10,000,so placing it in a rarer category of say the model 2 at approx 100,000.My favourite personally is the model 1 Roto,since I feel its the first true Victathen the 2a for cosmetic appearance..Just my taste:)..So you getting the hang of it yet Pancake???
