Ever-Ready Brush Question (200T & F40)

The Count of Merkur Cristo

This may have been covered in prior threads / posts (which I did do a 'search' but to no avail), but I have a restored Ever-Ready 200T (cream over blue [tortoise color perhaps?], handle...see pic below), Brush and have a question for you restoreers and/or experienced Ever-Ready brush 'gurus'.

What are the differences (color, weight, size ect...if any), between the 200T & F40 brush handles?

I think the only difference between the 200T and the F40 is the top color on the 200T is a little darker? maybe a slight knot size difference as well, but to the naked eye those are probably the only two differences.

It seems like the 200T's were somewhat inconsistent as well, maybe due to aging or whatever, but I've seen some 200T's that were way darker or lighter than mine on the top portion.

Edit: Some insight on this page

...and thanx for the info and link. I thank member 'FL shaver' for stating "ER F40 [right?] and 200T [leftt...or vice-versa ?], (look the same to me!) with 20mm TGN Silvertips". (see pic below).

Thanx also to member 'bobfarvour' who replied to FL shaver, "In your picture they certainly do look identical. My F40 and 200T are different near the top, the angle at the top of the handle is steeper and longer in one", and with you 'Nexlev' (my shaving friend), have answered my question. :thumbsup:
