Actually, I would consider the 16PX Century of Progress chairside as the rarest of all Philcos.

http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1933c.htm#6

Only 75 were made, and none are known to exist. There may still be one or two floating around out there; maybe not.

Along with the 515, I would consider sets such as the Concert Grand, the 52 grandfather clock, and the 1932-33 radio-phonographs (22L, 23X, 24L, 25L, 26J & 27J) among the rarest of all Philcos.
