I know Ray owns a magnificent specimen but I'd thought I would show one I picked up a while back.. perhaps Ray will post pictures again for everyone to enjoy?

Flare Tip Coronation set????
Flare Tip Coronation set????
Cool set, Scott!
Excellent! What is the story behind these sets? Were they made for a specific event, or over a few years?
Scott and Erwin, this are great set´s! 
Both o'them are beauties! Congratulations 
Absolutely beautiful! I enjoy objects such as these and seeing the craftmanship, quality and attention to detail that was fairly common in years past, but can be difficult to find in today's world.

The information I could gather on the Presentation sets (which consisted of the Golf Flare Tip Rocket and Mark II Slim Adjustable) were manufactured for one year only in 1963.
As far as rarity goes.. I think they're right up there with the Coronation Sets since those were only manufactured for one year as well in 1953.
Lastly, it's very difficult to find the Gold Flare Tip Rocket.. and to find in good shape is even harder since gold plating is very thin.
