Sent you a PM. We do refrain from "values" discussion around here as much as possible. But i suspect that there are collectors of DD stuff out there who would appreciate that specimen more as original with box than you might for a daily lather maker.

I'm a "user". I let the "pristine" stuff go to collectors who just like having stuff in top condition for trading purposes. Totally your call.

Are those bone scales?

Dzanda, yes, but unfortunately they're broken.

I have a vintage boar brush like that and it works wonderfully when lathering in a bowl, very soft tips and holds tons of lather. Besides my Thäter two band, it is the only other brush I have kept in use. Of course your money and all that, butI don't see why you'd want to ruin a possibly perfectly good brush.

That is the tallest loft I have ever seen. So much so, even though it is boar with lots of backbone, I can't imagine it working very as well with hard soaps.

Nice find, ENJOY !!

Oh wow nice nos dd shave brush, im never lucky enough to find nos accessories, but you got a great deal!

I think that's the same brush Hawkeye uses on M.A.S.H.
