Flare tip rocket ids

[sam o'reilly]

Hi guys, just picked these up from a local carboot fair. Did I get 2 x Rockets or one or none? The top one has a TTO gap that closes when you open the doors. The TTO gap in the bottom one stays more or less closed. They both say Brit Pat: 690493, and both have the ii mark. They both weigh (top 61g bottom 59g)Thnx in advance for any info.

The top one looks like a tv super speed rocket, the bottom one might be a british flare tip (as long as the knob doesn't move up and down like the rocket versions). They look real nice and should shave nice as well!

First, whats a carboot fair? Second, I'm not expert but I think there is just one rocket. Also I think it may be the rhodium plated T.V. special or Travel deluxe.

Here is a good source on rockets

top one is a tv special rocket with rhodium handle, bottom one is a brit superspeed, rockets have the gap between the handle and the knob, those look in very good nick, a polish up and they will be like new, the rhodium handled rockets are great little razors.

Well that's more or less what I thought, great thnx for the feedback. Oh and a car car boot fair, is like a garage sale in a big field or car park. And a car park is like a parking lot.

Sounds like fun, I know them as swap meets.

Great find! Need to add that to my list. Flare tips are under rated amongst the tto family. Congrats.
