This is my first vintage brush to be honest. But I could not pass the offer.. Can anyone try to put a timestamp on this brush (maybe by judging of the design of decal and prints)? Also I am interested in what kind of hairgrade you think it could be.
The brush is sent to me from a friendly french member and the gentleman told I could use his own pictures.
Knot is 24mm
Total height is 13 cm
Can´t remember the size of loft but I gather this would be a #16. I´ll bet this will be on the floppy side but this time I did not care.
Material is horn which is nice but somewhat delicate. Many years ago I had a Thiers Issard brush in horn that cracked on me although I had been very careful when it came to looking after it. Should I oil it from time to time or would Renaissance wax be more appropiate..? Or both?
The base can be un-screwn. That is a odd feature. Would it be ok to get some epoxy down there to secure the knot?
Sorry for the myriad of questions.
Kindly
Henrik
