    I finally got around to restoring this rubberset 200...the print on the handle was quite worn so I sanded it smooth. TGN 22mm two band finest set at 50mm.

    This next one was a save...The knot is a TGN 20mm silvertip grade A that was in a bakelite albright restore that broke when it hit the tile floor...This is a piece of oak from an old piano stool...

    That's a shame, I like the lines of that brush.

    This is a different brush than the first one, isn't it? Where and how did it break? Is a repair possible or make a new piece for it?

    The wooded one has the knot that went in the albright rubberset...the top portion broke in half and the bottom shattered like glass...no saving that handle. edit: ( it looks different because the top photo is with my phone..)


    Since you like butterscotch...this is my Simpsons AS2M / TGN 20mm silvertip...

    Ok something more appropriate....

    The wood handle didn't look right and the knot was too small...
