The brush on the left was part of an Ebay lot. Any info would be appreciated. No markings anywhere and no seams.

can you guess on what the handle is made of?
It's a hard plastic of some kind maybe Bakelite. Like I said it has no seams like an injection mold even on the bottom. Also the hair looks like Boar and feels velvety smooth like Badger. I'll post a photo of the bottom, not my bottom the Brush!
I'll hunt the internet tonight for old brushes of the same style handle,,, maybe we will get lucky.:shrug:
Nice figure but looks top heavy. My first opinion is that it is "Custom" or at least one of a kind.........................:shrug:
So I checked out a Rubberset web site and this looks like the model. #6-35

I can't remember the proper term for it, but the knot looks like it may be badger around the outside with boar in the center. I've had a couple of brushes from the '20s - '30s like that. Is the handle possibly ceramic?
Looks similar but doesn't have the Nose....
32t,
I think you are right close but no cigar....
sqzbxr,
I think you maybe right, it sounds like a ceramic when I tap on it. Any other material wouldn't be as resonate. Here's a photo of the bottom. The shiny area looks like glass.
