'Picked as an each - sold as an each.' Grammatically correct?

Is"Picked as an each - sold as an each" grammatically correct?

I came across this sentence somewhere and it struck me as sounding odd.


Solution 1:

Since "each" is a pronoun, it's not technically ungrammatical. There is precedent for putting articles before pronouns (e.g., That person's a he, not a she.). That said, it is very unusual wording. I've never heard or read that or anything like that before. I've never seen an article used before "each," so while it is technically not ungrammatical, it is unnatural, not vernacular.
