I was wasting time today with a friend as he was out looking for vaseline glass and I came across this brush. It is not the greatest of brushes and it's not all badger hair, but it only cost me 35 cents. That is the reason that I am even sharing my find with you.

That's really nice. I'd have the old knot out of it and a new one ordered from Golden Nib within an hour of getting it home though.
Nice find and great price! You can replace the knot and have a great brush as mentioned above. Also, you can give it a shampoo in Borax 12 mule team to bring it back to life and clean it good. Then a shampoo and hair conditioner, really. Vintage brushes tend to have smaller knots but they do work well for face lathering. Good luck!
Thanks for the feedback guys!
That handle is in FANTASTIC SHAPE!! I wouldn't bother trying to revive the badger that's there; it's just not worth the candle. Seriously. Read some posts here about removing the old knot and get a nice new one from Golden Nib. That will be one kick-ass brush.
Yeah, I have decided to just get a new knot from the Golden Nib. They are inexpensive enough for me to afford a decent badger knot.
