I worked as a two way tech in the early 80's. I saw them every day, so to me they are not rare. Maybe today, because they have been rotting in a landfill, but that is not what I consider rare.
Rare to me, is something that few were produced, not dumped due to obsolescence.
He commented on one of my antenna projects not long ago and wanted some info. I never heard from him after that. I was wondering what was going on with him, as I knew of his past tribulations with health issues. I only heard him one or two times on the air here in NY and might have worked him...

It is not rare. It is an obviously old portable "lunchbox" radio by GE. There was also a Motorola radio like this also. The two channels are crystal controlled, most likely on 146.12/146.72 and 146.34/146.94 MHz repeater pairs. It is on the 2 meter band.
And I think the 5555NII/QT-60, is closer in transition to a traditional 10m radio, like the HR-2510. Unlike the Ranger built lines, that are Export CB radios for the trucker crowd.
