What Daniel was referring to is the roof top leading into the tower having a red roof versus the normal brown roof. I first noticed this when I bought my St. Augustine in 1994 at the Ancient Mariner Gift Shop in St Augustine. The store display had a brown roof and when they brought me one from the back room and I inspected it the roof was red. My son-in-law that was born and raised in St. Augustine said to take the red roof version because that is the way the roof should be so I took the red roof version.

Later on when I met Daniel he told me that the red roof version was rare (he knows the rough number of these in a certain serial number range) and so then I started noticing the majority of St. Augustines had the brown roof. I also bought a brown roof version to have both versions. I noticed the red roof version on Ebay and let Daniel know about it since I didn't need another one. The red roof versions are all in the serial number range of approximately 3300 +/- 100.
