My score is pretty modest at the moment. My first straight; a Wade and Butcher special. Now I just need to find a local honemeister to work his magic and maybe show me a thing or two.

and no pics. shame on uI scored a vintage Butterscotch Simpson Chubby 2 100% NOS (Nice badger stink on it) "Best grade" but softer than my PreVulfix Super grade was. It's also the orange-hued type of hair like on my 1954 Kent that I suspect is European Badger rather than Chinese. It has a yellow/orange look rather than white or grey when you look down into the knot and the hair holds water much tighter (stays clumped after very aggressive shaking). Very nice stuff.

Sorry. I have to take pics, load them on my laptop, upload them and then dig them up on my desktop because my desktop card reader died and I hate using my laptop.

I bought it thinking it would be a "Classic 2" but there's no doubt. It's a Chubby 2. And a very flat topped and short lofted one. The bloom is a good bit smaller than my Chubby 2 Super's was because it's ~44mm loft vs ~51mm on the Super. It's really quite a stunner in person, and soooooooo soft.

That's a nice briefcase. I especially like the working buckles; most of what one gets these days has a snap buckle.
I do not let you to buy the other one. I promise
Where did you find it in NYC? Was there any more?You never know what you will find in NYC
