The red Supremes are from the 1960's, I believe although I always thought the lever on the back was red also.
There is a site somewhere on the internet with an impressive historical dateline.

I can say it's a later reel as it has just two screws holding the centreboss on...what's more they are self-tapping screws. Terrible engineering from such a fine company, probably bought about by Shakespeare who bought this company too, before flogging-off their designs to a South African company.

Late 60s Early 70s I would guess. Roundel has Hants on it so pre 74.
