Help me date this Kent

[KeenDogg]

Saw her out this morning and had to pick her up. Dont know how old of a girl she is but she had a couple good looking girlfriends. SO, I invited them home too.
Anyone have any tips on how to clean her up without ruining her label?

The Rubberset is a 3 and the Butterscoth is a Made Rite 303. The Kent says W30.

Thanks in advance.

They look pretty good for vintage brushes. No idea how old they are, but some dating advice is to start by asking the girl out.

I got her some flowers and sent a love letter to her parents. Thanks, Mac, for the link.

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks, Big J. My first vintage butterscotch. I'm going to get some Novus and make her shine! Funny story about that. A guy has been trying to sell me this same model brush for 40 dollars for 3 years. I went down the street and found it at a new place for 15! Patience is a virtue, right?

I have yet to hear from Kent. However, I am moving forward with the project. I've begun rehabbing the knot and it is going slowly, but surely. I want to clean the brush handle but I dont want to damage the label or stamping on it. I figure I'd start with soap and water and a toothbrush. Any suggestions?

Be warned that's only legal in three states so far. Just from the looks, I'd say 50's-70's as a guess. I've seen one of those in NOS shape on eBay or etsy recently (I like vintage kent's pure badger, mixed and boar knots)... but the asking was a bit high for my taste.

Lol. Noted. I'd say you're in the ballpark.
