    Looks to be silver? No markings on it, but a little tarnish that reminds me of the argyle patina. And yes, I believe you are right on the main materials as well Tom.
    Wasn’t sure if he used real ivory this big, but it feels so weighty and smooth in hand, must be.
    Edge is still very crisp where the ebony meets the ivory..not sharp, but crisp..
    Really a stately looking handle.

    For those of us that appreciated his work, that is a priceless item to receive. It’s also so very typical of his design and choice of materials.

    He did one for me of my design. It was hard to convince him it would all be OK!

    Also Ebony and Ivory..

    I really like both of those brushes! Very classy.
    That brush design, Tom, reminds me of the 1920s. Has a great vintage barbershop look.

    That one is Amadeus. A knob I had Bill reproduce from an old neck-duster.
    Then, a re-sized, Austrian-hallmarked, sterling silver napkin-ring. and a 29mm 2-Band knot.
    A Sterling English pin/broach as an end-cap , commemorating Mozart.
    He (Bill) hated drilling a hole all the way through and not knowing why!
