How rare is a red tip SS made in England?

[polod]

I bought one of these in an antique store a few months ago. It was made in England instead of the USA. I've never seen a red tip SS made in the UK. I have lots of regular Super Speeds made in the UK, but was surprised when I got a red tip.

I have one on the way from England, & you see em from time to time, but not too often. A rocket though, you don't see those too much at all. I really want the red tip rocket!!! Its the only one I need to complete my collection, I think.

Good job! they don't come up too often.
remember that there is a red tip SS and a red tip rocket, both made in the UK.

I love my rockets!

Is the only difference between the red tip SS and the red tip Rocket the space above the TTO knob on the rocket?

 

[eyeguy]

Off the top of my head, I think so. The TTO on the Rocket moves in & out of the handle, while the SS is in a fixed position.

You are the man Mr. Razor. Have you ever done a comprehensive comparison of all of the superspeeds in existence? That would be a fascinating read.

I think I tried to buy your beautiful Monobloc, but alas, too dear for my blood.
