    The Super 21 horns were the result of a development project by United Musical Instruments to re-establish King in the professional saxophone market in the mid-1990s.  There is only vague information on how many were produced for trade shows and professional testing, but two dozen would be the high estimate.  The instruments generated a lot of enthusiasm from those who tested them, but UMI chickened out on the project.  You're a lucky guy!
