It's in the mail, saw it last night for a BIN from Canada....was wondering if it was one of those elusive metal brushes that were raging a couple of weeks ago??

well, its an estate sale,,, good lead,,,, when you get it, start with a messege via Ebay to the seller & explain how you collect & ask about the source,, the seller has a low Ebay transaction number,,, so they are probably more willing & have the time to respond to you.

Careful in your skuttles with that bad boy..

Not a Rubberset aluminum rocket brush, I think you will find it to be smallish, 20mm or so. The handle is brass, solid, quite heavy. I have one with a stand, safety razor combo.
A good knot is TGN 20 mm 2-band. That one looks worth a try, to me!

Brush arrived, quite a heavy handle, and it is sealed in a plastic bag, never opened.

John - your inbox is full, tried to send you a PM.:)

You described the brush to a "T", heavy little sucker, sealed in a plastic bag and never used. If it's sealed in plastic, can't be that old I'd imagine?

Found a couple similar to it in junk shops. Fair bristles but a re-knot is a lot better!

PS, I think they were in some shave set in the 70s.

The brush handles that were raging a while back were the taller spun alum brushes.
