Rare does not always = expensive. I missed a gold SS last night that was not priced more than a normal SS. It all depends on who else is looking at the time. I have not seen one myself though there are quite a few gold 40's style Rockets around.

unfortunately not mine, but a friend give me some pics from his one. I have the same set, but my razor has lost the most of plating.

ya, that's the one! Wow..
So is this considered a Rocket instead of a SS?
I'm assuming a Rocket is the British version of a super speed?

This is a different one that closed three days ago. It was a later 60's flare tip.
