This stuffed badger is sitting on the window sill of a hotel-restaurant in the Black Forest for many years. I visit this place since 1982, and it is still there and still has all its hair. Just wondered last week when I visited again how many brushes could be made from it. This is the European Badger, now protected by law.
It would depend on the sizes of the brushes, but my rough guess is 40. Say 4 Silver Tips, 8 Best, and the rest Pure.
