Pure Badger just means that it is ALL badger hair...not some other hair or mixed with boar...it is not a grade in this context.
That looks like a great brush.

Haven't been collecting vintage brushes long, here's the two Ever-Ready's I have and use. 300 on the left, 100 on the right. The 100 is in mint condition.
Just finished restoring this Ever-Ready 75.
Took it completely apart, removed the old knot as it was no good, sanded down the wooden part and repainted it, polished up the metal part as good as possible and then reassembled the lot with a 22 mm Black Badger knot from TGN.
I'm quite satisfied with the result

Since this thread has been revived here's the ER's I now own.
