Gillette British Presentation Sets Part 2

[Hanspleasure]

Here's a couple pics illustrating some recent acquisitions..
A. Gold flare tip rockets.. one with outer shipper
B. Mark II Slim Adjustable

The Slim Adjustable has a date code of J4 so my thinking is the Gold Flare Tip Rockets were probably manufactured around 1963 - 1964.
Achim has a spectacular set of the Mark II Slim Adjustable with outer shipper in his website.. http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/Adjustable/1963%20Mark II Presentation Set I4.jpg
And as can be seen in this thread.. http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=92503 Ray owns the nicest Gold Flare Tip Rocket on the planet
I'm curious though.. both Achim's and my Mark II's were manufactured in the 4th quarter of 1963 and 64.. is it possible that Gillette only produced and sold these sets around Xmas time?

Anyways... hope you like.

absolut GREAT! The gold flare Tip has the rings on the knob, so I think he is from the 50s

Thanks Achim!
I didn't even notice the rings on the knob.. you have such a great eye!
Have you ever come across any brochures or information on either of these sets?
