It would take me a blue moon around here to come up with so much. Most everything I find in the antique shops is junk.
Enjoy the fruits of your espionage!

I've got spy's everywhere, they call me when they come across the goods, and I can usually get first crack at um before they go out on the floor. This spy is my gold, egg laying, goose. She's an estate luquidator. The others hang out around antique shops, n such.

Nice haul! Ain't spies wonderful! Nice twist of the schmuck's nether regions.
Cheers!

Made Rite, pure badger on left.
Ever-Ready Boar, with hard rubber & "BONE" !!! in right.

Great haul! I had several pickers getting stuff for me in Minn. I would always get first chance on their finds.

I would be a bit careful with that EverReady Boar. Those bristles look like they may have mold or bacteria. JMO.

Interesting strop, the stamp especially. The style is not modern Russian, so my guess is it is pretty vintage from before or around the WW2 may be?

Cool pile. outback. Someone posted a Eugenio Hoppe a while back. Says that was Guillermo Hoppe's dad.
Plenty old.
That hard rubber and bone brush is a rare gem, I think.

Nice work!

Both brushes are nice but the one that caught my eye was the Made Rite. Makes me wonder why every time I find a vintage brush the thing looks like it came out of an Egyptian tomb with a full blown case of green mung.

Oh..it took some scrubbin.
Had old dried soap stuck in the grooves of the handle, and deep in the bristles.
But I had to have it, its a match to the Ever-Ready I picked up awhile ago. [emoji6]
