I found this brush at a antique store in San Marcos California. I actually left the store empty handed but contacted them a couple days later. They were nice enough to send it to me via mail.
I started by pulling most of the old knot out with my hand. Used a dremel to remove the remaining hair and all the old glue (nasty stuff). It's amazing what a little automotive grade rubbing compound/polish will do to these beauties. I finished it up with some wax and buffed her out. Ordered a 20mm finest extra stuffed knot from Jon at Golden Nib and secured it with some locktite underwater adhesive. Philip from Vulfix sent me some new Simpson's stickers and there you have it. I am very happy with the results and look forward to restoring some more brushes in the future.
I ran a couple of test runs but can't wait to use it in the morning. I set the loft at 49mm and am very happy with it. I was looking for more of a light bulb shaped brush and I got lucky.
Any help on ID'ing this brush would be greatly appreciated. The stamp says CT1 Pure Badger. Thanks for looking.
Sorry for the dirty razors.... should have cleaned them prior to snapping the pic's.
