My latest restores

I just wanted to share my latest restores with every one. I still have to do some lettering work and final polish.
First is a ER 200 black and green with a 24mm TGN finest fan set at 45mm.
next is a ER 200 black and red with a 26mm TGN finest set at 48mm.
next is a Lord chesterfield with knot from a Semogue 1438.
next is a ER 150 with a 22mm omega knot set at 50mm.
next is a VDH handle with a TGN 22mm best knot set at 46mm.
next is a handle I turned myself and set a TGN 26mm finest at 52mm.
next is another handle I turned myself and set a TGN 24mm Finest at 46mm.

Like I said I still have to do the letter work and final polish but here they are. Pics of the handles I turned are in the next post.

Thanks everyone. Both the ER 200s had some major scratches and the red one had a crack I had to fix with epoxy. If you look closely right above the y in Ready you can see whats left of it. I was happy I could keep enough of the lettering that I think I can get them to take some paint. The Lord Chesterfield is very thin in the lettering so I might not be able to get it to take pain. I'll try and see.
I have a couple Lucite brushes and a couple more ER 200 I will start some time next year. I think I have a problem.
 
Where did you source the acrylic for the handles you turned?
I have a friend that makes goose and duck calls. He gets samples form different suppliers. He said he didn't like this material for making calls for whatever reason , so I asked if I could have it to see if I could turn a handle. It was around 4"x 1 1/2". I think they turned out pretty well.
 
Thought I would put up my latest restores. All pics are post bloom after a quick palm lather.

First is a ER 200 with a 22mm TGN Grade A Silvertip set at 45mm.

Next is a Omega mighty midget handle I slapped a 22mm TGN Best knot set at 46mm in it. The original knot shed terribly, but I liked the little handle.

Next is a cool looking Grey and white marble handle. I transplanted a 22mm Omega knot from a handle I forget the model #.
