Hi all.
I have been looking for an English made Ever-Read brush for ages. I think, at last, I may have struck gold. I found a box of 6 the seller claims are still sealed. They don't come cheap and since I want to use what I buy and not just mere collecting I wanted to ask whether you guys can have a look at some picture and advise as to whether these might be at all usable, how to sterilise them. There are a few cheaper battered ones, but they are obviously used and need re-knotting; something I am not prepared to go through at the moment. So I thought these ones being still sealed, might be usable.
I'm not sure whether bristles goes stiff or crumbly over the years even if sealed. Looking forward to your expert advice.
Thank you so much in advance.
Here's some pictures:
