Rocket/Aristocrat Jr?

[cardboard]

How can you tell the difference between the Aristocrat Jr that looks like the 40's style Rocket?
Been wondering this because I've seen some listed on the bay as Aristocrat Jr but can't tell the difference just from looking at it. I have one with the flat base plate but that's an obvious give away. Advice please.

AJ has a flat head, Rocket has the diamond silo !

I´ve seen many Aristocrat jr. with diamond silo. The inside of the case looks little different.

Isn't this one of those things Gillette did - stick a 40s Rocket (A very fine razor btw) into a Aristocrat Jr. case but with a slightly different interior. fuzzy -v smooth?

Achim, do you know what the later model case is called? The early one is a #53 and the diamond base plate version case is a ____?

Either I got a few 40s Rockets or a lot of diamond base plate AJs! but just one later model AJ case...

I have to put my flat base AJ into a red/clear styrene Rocket case. poor thing.

Thanks for the replies, yea I was talking about the one with the dimond base plate. I wasn't sure if they were just rockets stuck into the AJ's case. I don't see a difference with those. Hmmmm... with now case how do you tell?
