No pics yet, but I just picked up a perfect-condition badger brush that has a white handle and says "STERILIZED - MADE IN ENGLAND" for $1.00 and a perfect-sized blue shaving mug with gold leaf on the top rim and a CAESARS POCONO RESORT graphic with Julius' head on the side in gold leaf for just another $0.25 at an antique shop.
They also had a GEM Micromatic in rough shape that I passed on and a gold Superspeed that I would have gotten except for some gold plating loss on the silo doors...otherwise it would have cleaned up VERY nicely...they were both $5.00 each.
FINALLY I am beginning to see some in antiques shops!
I have been using a boar brush, so this is my first badger brush. Cleaned it and used it....very nice...although since its handle is too slim to hang from my shaving stand, I'm going to keep it for a travel brush. It DOES seem a little on the small side, but hey, it was badger for a buck! Looking at some reviews on here, it looks like it may be a Simpson brush, although I do not see Simpson on the logo, the rest of the logo looks exactly the same.
