No, they were regular production, but as with most solid gold models of this era, rare. And this was pretty early in the naming era. Some 325 models had names (Longacre, Fleetwood, Carlton, Arlington) but I would say the majority did not. It may just be "Quadron XXX" without a name. I don't know if this is a hard and fast rule, but it seems to me that Gruens from the early 1930s only got names if they were advertised, and I would suspect a low production model like this probably wouldn't have been.
