That's the one pictured but the Neal narrative goes a little deeper about making that a 23 series model, 2373. Apparently, in preceeding pages, the decision to stake the wagon tool up was a bust. Not selling the "quota" to break even and many left over in '48. I would suspect some "scrambling" to sell that pile, but speculates.
From an aesthetic view, the wood looks kinda outta place, "pasted" on and doesn't really fit. "Sans door wood" looks much cleaner.
I'm in the camp that says this "hunk" is no rarebird. Just need more proof.
