I love those butterscotch handled brushes. Are there any manufacturers still making them? Are they all bakelite (in which case I assume the answer to the first question is "no")? I guess it's just Ebay or the B&B buy and sell forum?
Not real. The B&B 2009LE was available in repro-butterscotch, but true butterscotch is Catalin (a form of bakelite) that started white/cream and oxidized.
Check the Wikipedia entry for Catalin for more info.
