That is a unique design. I wonder why they didn't continue with it?. What was the seller asking for it?

I think the heated ones are actually later than the unheated design that is most commonly seen. I recall reading that on the HAMB. I can only speculate why we only get the unheated ones as repops these days.
The heated design came in a 216 bolt pattern and a 235 bolt pattern to mate to the intake manifold. I have a set of each as well as unheated ones, though the 235 sized ones are going to a new home next week.
I'm curious to know what they're asking too. I see them posted in the $800-$1200 range when they show up, though obviously I don't know what they actually go for on FB or eBay when there's a best offer. (I got a REALLY good deal on my 235 set, so the friend who's buying them is also getting a good deal.)
I actually have a set of those. There is actually a good story that goes along with them but I would need beer to loosen my tongue.

How is the heat riser flapper addressed with those manifolds?

1939 Packard Standard Eight Coupe (The Phantom) | 1956 Cadillac Coupe de Ville (The Bismarck) | 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 coupe |1966 Ford Mustang (Little Red) | 1969 Pontiac GTO (The Dishpit) I 1979 Ford F-100 | 1976 Ford F-150 (Big Red) | 1995 Ford F-150 (Newt)
It doesn't appear that these have any kind of heat riser valve to manage the heat going to the intake manifold. Could be why the design was changed as continuous heat to the intake would have the same effect that a stuck flapper on an original manifold would have, causing poor engine performance.

EBS - Is that last set in your stash from Nicson? They look like pictures I've seen of them, but don't see the name anywhere.

They're Clark headers. They're stamped sheetmetal welded up at the seams. Clark headers Clark Advertisement There is also a type, I assume made by the same Clark company that are cast iron and have the name in raised lettering. I've only seen one or two pictures of them. I've seen a couple sets of the sheetmetal type in person, including the one I own. I've never seen any on a car nowadays, though I've seen vintage pictures of them in use.
