Evening All, Would someone be able to post a picture of their Forty Fore Deluxe please, and / or let me know the original whipping colour? I appear to have two different colours on mine - a red and a burgundy, and just wondering which is the original. Lovely rod...swapped it for an old cup I had knocking around inscribed 'Holy Grail', but have been just offered some magic beans to part with it, (although am unsure if this is a fair swap). Regards Cat

They are usually Scarlet but unsealed which makes it a wine colour once varnished. Careful with those magic beans Cat.

Wal.

Thanks Wal. I'm assuming you don't think the magic beans are a good swap for one of Clifford's finest creations!

No, keep the rod Cat, I once heard of a bloke swapping a cow for some of them beans, he had now but trouble.
