Got a new brush...what did I get?

I liked it so I bought it but there's no maker indicated, just Italy. Anyone know more this one:

Nothing huh? Oh well, I did use it for the first time yesterday. I very much enjoyed it. I was just hoping to know who made it. Either way, I'm happy with the purchase.

Funny they would put "since 1939 and hand-made" but no maker. Maybe it rubbed off if it's vintage otherwise I would assume it was made for some retailer somewhere but it's still funny there is no name on it.

It looks like either a silvertip or best badger. Lets us know how it works.

Looks like Best badger (based off my one best badger brush :D ). I feel like I've seen that logo before but I can't place it. If you have a smart phone try using google goggles to search for it.

Looks like Theirs Issard's logo, but it isn't. Nice copy :P

5 mins on Google and I found this for you:

So, it's a Concord product. That's good to know. That did not come up in my search...perhaps I was using the wrong search engine. In any case, I do appreciate the input but given the nature of some of the responses, it appears as though my ignorance may have offended other members and for that I sincerely apologize.

I don't think anyone was disparaging you or your question. I think most of us were just fuzzy on the logo because it looks familiar but couldn't place it. And I, for one, have week googlefu:thinking: skills.

Nothing to apologize about.

No need to apologize at all, that’s what one of the main reasons the forum is for, to find answers to your questions.

I hope my posting above with the links did not lead you to think that you were ignorant and had offended me or others.

I was only too glad to offer my assistants and enjoyed trying to search around for clues to your brush origin.

If only if I could do that to find one of my razor origins.
