EKI rarity and desirability

[kpaintner]

I tried a search and could not find anything. Does anyone have a list of EKI production numbers? Which manufacturer is the rarest and which one is the most desirable?

The link Hank gave you will give an idea ..... and is quit involved .
A few rare ones indeed but not all in the manner .
Either rare by :
a) numbers made
b) materials used and components combinations
c) by markings

A list of production numbers by company does not exit .
By quantities found it seams about a dozen companies produced the majority of EK1s .

Thanks for the responses. I understand. Condition aside, what maker do you like the best and why?

[Stu W]

Deschler (1) for its heavyweight construction and K&Q (65) for its overall look.

Godet/Zimmermann and K&Q

Certainly Deschler for it's heavy construction and also Juncker and S&L for their variations .
