This is what it looks like.  I bought it 4-5yrs. ago at Parkway Music in upstate NY for$200, it was in a corner collecting dust.  Boy is it LOUD!

They're one of those companies that made and sold amps regionally in the NY/NJ/CT area etc.  Some of them find their way other places.  Not too common, but I wouldn't say "rare."  "Rare" to me implies that there is demand, and the supply is insufficient to meet the demand.  I think "Uncommon" might be more accurate.   They're so uncommon that nobody is going around looking for Sano amps.  If someone notable made a big point of playing one, that might change, but that's unlikely to happen either.

A similar maker was Hilgen.  There were strong Ampeg ties, and there may be strong Ampeg ties to Sano, as well.  Never owned a Sano so I can't say. 

I'd guess it probably has a pair of 7591 output tubes?  I don't know how those little companies were tied to Ampeg but they were somehow, used a lot of their circuits at the very least.
