I mentioned my Super Speed in a couple of other threads, but still can't put a finger on what its story is.
It's obviously a flare tip for certain, but the banding on the TTO tip doesn't match others I've seen for the age (it's a 1959, 1st quarter). It's got the narrow band for a 1960's era, but the tip is checkered like a 50's.
If you all could help me out, I'd like to see a picture or two of other members' E1 SS if they're out there, just to make sure I've not ended up with a mutt that somebody bodged together. I've wondered it before and am looking for confirmation- something tells me because of it's end-of-one-era/start-of-another date, maybe it's a "use up the last of these parts" design?
