Thread: How old is it?

Can anyone help me with the age of this Ever-Ready?

As you can see there are no markings on the bottom.

I have searched the Wiki and the rest of the web and can't find one similar.

I have no idea, but I will try to research it later tonight when I have more time.

Thanks for the help, I have not been into the collection of these items until recently so my research skill are probably not up to par in this area.

Ever ready was a huge brush producer. Most of the ones I've seen seem to be from the 1940s and 50s but yours is different with that impression in it. I suspect it's one of their earlier ones.

I know there is part of their catalog on our site somewhere because I've seen it. it's probably in this forum. Do a search.

I actually found a readable version of this poster. I believe my brush is one of the 2 brushes that flank the "Free" display near the top, model No. 2M or Model No. 2W. With a closer look, if the coloration of the bristles is a good representation, I would say Model No. 2M. However, even if that is correct, I can't find any info on this model.

Hope this picture helps others.

I have this image saved so let me know if a larger image is required.

I can't wait to see that one restored. They painted these, but the natural wood usually looks fantastic.
