I know it's an Ever Ready but that's about it. Also, how would you value based on its appearance in the photo? Thanks.
Can anyone identify this brush...

It's an Ever Ready 100T. The brush should be identified on the bottom. It looks like it could use a new knot. It was one of Ever Ready's entry level boar brushes and the handle is hollow. I have no idea what the value would be. I got mine with another brush and a Gillette New razor for $20.

I got this exact same brush from an antique store for $6.00 and am working on restoring it right now 
I pulled the old knot out last night with no problems, trimmed the old hair short then used some pliers and the plug popped right out with very little resistance.
Sorry to hijack the thread but can any one give advice on what to use to polish the handle up a little and also what can I use to restore the logo and model # on the bottom of the handle?
I will fill the hollow handle with cork and epoxy and plan on purchasing a 20mm silver tip from golden nib

I use Flitz metal and plastic polish, available at hardware stores, sporting goods stores, and gun shops. I've also read that MAAS polish is often used.
I use a fine artist's brush to fill in and touch up logos. I read somewhere (unfortunately I don't remember where) that there is a wipe on, wipe off coloring that can be used to fill in recesses.
In case there is no color left in your logo, the original was in gold.
Good luck on your restore.
