There are hundreds of characters with less than 10 appearances in the Golden Age. But what I think it's more difficult is to find a character that has a complete narrative arc like they do in modern comics. Every story was normally stand-alone, with no overarching plot apart from some 2-issue storylines (which are indeed rare).

The only Golden Age character I ever encountered that had an overall continuity similar to modern narrative arcs is Nedor's Wonderman. You can read about him in this compilation:

Another character with good continuity is Amazing Man, but he has way more than 10 apperances:
