Thanks Brian, I see my three in the wiki. EverReady's as a family have such great looks....I am glad to see this wiki getting some filler.

Ok, I stink at taking pictures, but here's a few that I haven't restored yet.
I'll post again when I have them restored and learn how to use a camera.
Not pictured is an Ever Ready 200 and a nice Erskine that need a severe cleaning.

1. Rooney with original knot (nice butterscotch goodness)
2. Vulfix with original knot. You don't see too many of these around.
3. Ever Ready 100 with original knot.

Handle length-53mm
Knot-19mm hole I clearanced to 20mm grade A silvertip
Re-knot loft set to 53mm
Handle material unknown but white portion is very hard maybe bone??

[jk3campbell]

Bought an older Surrey brush as a package with an old colgate shave stick.
Handle length-52mm
Knot hole size-just a tad under 24mm
No markings on handle only a sticker on the bottom of handle.
Handle shell is hollow but appears epoxy filled as original.
Appeared to be boar hair but not sure due to bristle wear.

I have a couple to add, Ill post pics when I get home from work.

 

[The Count of Merkur Cristo]

I'm waiting on this Ever-Ready 250PB Pure Badger Brush I picked up off of Ebay...Measures 3 3/4 in. long, 1 3/4 in. wide

I think may have to 'keep a handle' (or as Memebr Rm71 a.k.a. Rocco would say, "Badgers sure do know how to breed"!), on them Badgers ...I mean OMG they can 'multiply' faster than rabbits (better to get them 'citters' nurtured or spayed ), but at times, in the end..."Resistance is futile".

Everready 200 in green
20mm Silvertip @ 45mm. Rebuilt shelf.

I bought these almost a year ago. All of the brushes have the original box and the one has the original instructions.

The Pall Mall 530 is from the 40's I believe and it is in Mint condition. No sign of use at all. The badger hair is extremely soft, something I have never felt before. I have never seen another one like it.

The Ever-Ready 500 is also in great condition. The bristles show some sign of aging but this one also has no sign of use either. This is the only one with this type of handle that I have seen.

The Ever-Ready 525 is the worst out of the bunch but it is still a nice example.

Brian, you can have my 1st born son in trade for the Pall brush. Plus I will throw in a Feather Stainless.
That is one gorgeous brush.
