The case with my '53-'54 Rocket HD says "Made in England" inside the Gillette diamond on the underside. The case also has a different profile (sorry, no camera).

I'm not sure what case was used in Canada.....

**ERVARGASNY** · 07-31-2012, 08:19 PM

That is what i find Weird, Made in England with Canada Case, also this Blue Color Case isn't the Typical Blue Ive seen, Could be some kind of Canadian Set :o/

40’s style Rocketthis razor is the Rocket and common in places like Canada, England and Australiawhere they were made . These razors came in the clear/red styrene case above and cardboard boxes like the early Super Speeds. These can say patent pending or have Brit. Pat. 694093 stamped in the blade tray 63 grams in weight.

Clean Razor nice haul!!!

**fast14riot** · 07-31-2012, 11:06 PM

I have a British Super Speed and the II marks are part of a I, II, III rating, which is for different head weights. I believe it was 5 or 10 grams difference between each step. II is by far the most common. http://theshaveden.com/forums/thread...fined-de.8590/. This is for all things rocket related.

oh, I thought it was aggressive rating ,thanks I really appreciate the info.....I think it was more of a 9 gram increment with each mark

**elmerwood** · 07-31-2012, 11:23 PM

I learn something everyday. Does this mean the case for Ervargasny is not the right case? Btw thanks for all the info.

I have a Made in England Rocket about 37 gms and a blue case but not like the one in the picture, mine has Made in England on the bottom of the case.
Will post a pic if you think it will help

**ItsAllGravy** · 08-01-2012, 01:14 AM

my English Rocket HD, doesnt have the II mark underneath, it's one of the brit pat one's 71g.

i've got no idea which year it's from though, it wasn't cased.

**Uncle Brian** · 08-01-2012, 01:59 AM

mine has Gillette and Made in England on the underside and Patent Pending inside on the blade tray

**mr-razor** · 08-01-2012, 02:41 AM

that´s the first time, that I see that blue case Made in USA for a Canadian set. I think your Rocket says Patent Pending. The 1949 Rocket comes in a red styrene case like the 1949 Super-Speed. But all red Rocket cases I`ve seen are Made in Canada. The 1950 Super-Speed comes in a blue styrene case like yours. I believe the Rocket goes the same way with the blue case. The first english made case that I know is from the 1951 Anniversary Set. Did you buy it in Canada? Are the blades french made? What´s the date code of the blades?

**Sledgehammer39** · 08-01-2012, 05:19 AM

Sweet Haul, she looks amazing!!!

Achim that's what i thought, its a 50's case. Maybe its a rare Super speed?
