Bringing the thread back to Fidjit, so how is the restore coming? The handle is lovely!
Yeppers, as Dunny stole me Thunder, it's going great.
Think I posted in another thread somewhere, but I contacted Kent and they were even able to tell me the "history" of this brush:
"I have been able to trace the brush back to 1949. It was a white bristle brush with what was described as "Special" shape brush and the cost was in old money seventeen shillings and 6 pence (17/6) which what would be now around 80p. I think it was in our economy range."
In addition, my research shows that Butterscotch doesn't start as Butterscotch but changes colour over time, due to some chemical reaction within the catalin:
"The sockets start of as an off white ivory colour and yellow over the time."
So , my first vintage Butterscotch find, my first restore....it's a keeper
Here it is my 1949 vintage shave setup, i.e. with my 1949 #16........
