I am trying to determine the age of this brush and any additional information possible. I have read through some of the resources here and surfed the web. I know that some older brush handles contained materials that would change color with age - 20 to 30 years or more. This brush has a wonderful color but I don't know if that was the original color. I would appreciate any information about this brush that can be shared.
I purchased this Rooney Beehive Brush here through the B&B and corresponded with the two previous owners. Not much information available beyond an estimated age of 30+ years.
The brush is HUGE. It rivals a BK12 that I owned for size but with a bit more backbone but not much. The brush dimensions has a 27mm knot, a 66mm loft and a 66mm handle height. It weights 125g.
Thanks for your assistance and your expertise.
