No, that was Rich Corinthian he was talking about...Rick was his brother.
Hat tip for the vintage TV commercial reference!
Nice score. One of the very first stones I scored years ago was a 6” with German label
What kind of rocks/hones did Rolls use?Not a rock...

There are reputedly some where the stone is Charnley. (As per G&H).
Never seen one though.
The stone is black on mine, and leather on the other side.This one has a brownish stone. All one piece looks like it has never been used

Yes, technically but after 20 years if collecting, is hard to change. If I say Catalin at the flea market, I get funny looks. It already moved into the butterscotch hotelButterscotch Catalin shaving brush.

I don't think there are any rules to that effect. When I was all into restoring vintage brushes I bought and sold a number on ebay.Incredible! Nice brushes, especially the vintage Simpsons.
@timwcic, I rarely see vintage Simpson brushes on eBay. Any idea why this is so? Does eBay not allow the selling of used brushes? Are people scared of these things?
I see the same thing at antique malls and shows. Things of high quality I’ve seen years ago are nowhere to be seen today. Highly desirable items are locked up in collections. I am seeking it today in high end costume jewelry. Much of it is being purchased and going to the Asian Rim as investment. In ten years their will be no more costume left in this countryIncredible! Nice brushes, especially the vintage Simpsons.
