In the late vintage era, C.G. Conn utilized single-letter prefixes to indicate specific manufacturing years right before transitioning to their multi-letter alpha-numeric systems. The \"R\" prefix was strictly designated for the 1972 production run. .Because production of the 25A model only lasted for a brief window in the early 1970s, an \"R\" prefix sequence marks it as a very early example from that specific design run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quinntheeskimo.net\/Pics\/connlogo\/connlogo0.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quinntheeskimo.net\/Pics\/connlogo\/connlogoThumb0.jpg\" alt=\"Conn Logo\" align=\"middle\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are proud to be an authorized C.G.
