    Default Identifying, again......

    I'm back with another identifying question.
    I tried to figure out what it is, but I just can't figure it out.
    Is it a Rocket? SS? I found some that seemed to be similar, but the case didn't look right.
    Anyone know?

    If anyone have something to tell about the brush, that would be appreciated to.

    Made in USA = early SS. Made in England = Rocket.

    The auction is on for a few more days, and this was the best pic, I've asked the seller for some more pics/info, waiting for a reply.

    I dont think it is a HD Rocket.....It doesnt have the signature indentation in the barrel at the neck.

    My guess that it is just a Rocket. Very nice score to add as well.

    you are correct, the hds have sort of ring around the upper part of the handle; it's just that the handle on this guy looks a little thicker than a regular ring style rocket from the kate 40s-early 50s, maybe it's just how it's photographed?

    Looks like a Parat. There's a German Parat on Mr. Razor, but with a maroon case like that. The blue case that opens like that usually means 54 usa tv special.

    Not an HD but a regular rocket. Still a nice find tho as it looks to be in nice shape.

    Right, a Parat -- if the TTO is the same diameter as the handle. The Rocket and Aristocrat Jr had a slightly larger diameter knob.
