I purchased a C4 Superspeed from a member here, and it's great. Same age as me, both born in 1957.
I found a 1954 (Z2) at an antique store today for $6 and it cleaned up nicely.
It looks a bit different than the '57 model. Both appear to have the same head, but the handles are just slightly different. Notice in the picture below that tha very prominent notch in the handle is slightly higher up. Also, the hole on the end of the knob is smaller in diameter than the '57. I'm going to guess that the '54 is the nickel (middle) version of the "Trio" released in the latter part of 1954.
Am I correct?
