The Simpson Thread

Amazing collection. Seems like all have the sticker intact as well! Are those stickers all made in England, or some with the made in Great Britain as well? I think we should have a thread of Simpson stickers as well

 

thank you!

The Berkeley and Chubby both say Made in Great Britain while the Wee Scot is Made in England.

 

Nice. I heard there was a dispute a few years back that where the brushes are being produced now (Isle of Man) is not England, and they changed the sticker to United Kingdom. I think all mine are made in England.

 

Yes. True. I have sometimes wondered why the Wee Scot still says "Made in England". Surely it is still the same issue? The only Wee Scot that doesn't indicate a place of making is the Carter-era version, but that was back then, not now.

Maybe the best brush I've ever used.

 

Says so right on the brush, Mike.

 

I’ve got 2 Simpsons brushes, a 24mm 57 best and the wee scott that my caliper rells me is 14.5mm, in a stand that took me a week to find!

 

I enjoy my vintage #57

About 7 - 8 years ago I started exclusively purchasing vintage butterscotch brushes, So I have an embarrassing number of Simpson, Vulfix, Kent, Culmack, and Rooney.
