Pentax stopped painting in the "ASAHI" on the Auto 110 before the end of the first year of production. Shortly after that they also changed the pan head screws to Philips flat heads. So these must be the rarest of the Auto 110 cameras. This, however, does not seem to be reflected in the auction price as few sellers include serial numbers or this level of detail in the auction.
10306xx has been reported as white ASAHI. 1059xxx and 1218xxx has been reported as being a black pan head and 1260xxx as a Philips; giving the range
after 10306xx and before 1059xxx
to
after 1218xxx and before 1260xxx. The may have been an overlap in production, using what every screws where available.
