Old Sekine Brush. Whats the deal?

[imbored2deth]

I have an old Sekine brush, looks to be boar hair. I wanted to upload some pics but my camera is being finicky at the moment. There are cracks around the where the hair goes into the handle. I only used it maybe twice as it was gifted to me a while ago. It sits around right now with no use. Any chance that this could be worth like 10million so that I can retire now?

Do you mean an Erskine brush?? Never heard about Sekine.

Wow, that is a fine looking brush! If you have sealed those cracks, you should start using it! Good luck.

Afraid not, not really uncommon, and go for around 20 to 25 dollars in decent shape.
The company is no longer in business, but they used to make hair brushes as well. Kinda like the Austrian version of the Fuller Brush Company here in the US.
Every picture I have seen of one is the same black base with white top, (like Burma-Shave made the red and white famous).
They appear to be enamel over wood, so it appears the white enamel paint is cracking. Seems like it could be repaired.
