I recently located some shaving brushes that have been in the family for a long time. From left to right. Albright Rubberset, Star 574, Ever-Ready 100, Rex 200. On Old School Shaving Brushes I found an advertisement with the Rubberset dated from 1921, so I'm thinking it is from around that era. There isn't a number on the brush but the advertisement says it is a 379.
Attachment 305990
I found pictures of the others on OSSB but wasn't able to establish an approximate age of the brushes, is it possible to narrow the age down to the decade they are from?
The Rex and the Rubberset have cracks in the handles so they'll remain unused. The Star was left in a shaving mug for awhile at some point, could the bristles be straightened? Or would it have to be re-knotted?
Thanks
