Here is an Ever-Ready 200T that my brother helped me restore last night. It has a huge 24mm boar knot in it.
Cant wait to start breaking it in!

this is the same brush i just bought. yours looks pretty nice and i wonder if you had to bore open the handle for the knot

 

[mr rogers]

In your picture they certainly do look identical.
My F40 and 200T are different near the top, the angle at the top of the handle is steeper and longer in one. I can't remember which. I'll try and get a photo in a minute.

Its the f40 that is steeper and longer. i have a black f40 and a blue 200T. you should check out my brush on page 5. its the 200T with a 24mm knot. i was sick of having a floppy brush

 

[mr rogers]

yeah i did, normally i think it would take a 20mm or 22mm knot after just grinding out the old epoxy. So i just went ahead and made it a 24 since there is definitely enough material there for it. i think it looks great with the larger knot.

Just purchased a black and white and a acrylic everready also. After my initial try at restoration(see above) I have now switched to a CLEAR marine epoxy. Lesson learned.

 

[mr rogers]

Is that marine epoxy a quick set epoxy? How expensive does it run? The stuff i used worked great and it didn't take a lot to complete the whole restoration.

it was the LOCtite 5-minute quick set type.

I finally got lucky on feebay! I will be replacing the knot.

200T

Before pics. I'm in the middle of the restoration. I have the knot out and the opening filed. I didnt expect it to be hollow but it makes sense.

I just bought a restored one of these and received it yesterday. I haven't had a chance to use it though. I hope you enjoy yours.

Absolutly the best looking brush I have ever saw!!

 

[urkel]

i'm with you on these brushes. very cool looking. is there some dating system on these things?

Bone has a very distinctive smell when sanded, it's a rather acrid smell. If you're not sure, you could always file a bit at a dog bone (one that's actual bone, not rawhide) for a reference smell. It might be an odd, rather silly suggestion, but it might help you determine whether or not the material in question is bone or another substance.

The bigger one is an Ever-Ready 750 Nylon/Lucite Knot size is approx 25mm (This one has a BIG handle, comparable to a chubby 3)

The smaller one is a MadeRite 650 Pure Badger Knot size is approx 18mm

Nice handle...personally, I'd restore it. Most boar brushes of that age are pretty brittle and dried-out. A 20mm TGN Finest Badger would look great in there.

 

[InsecureSpike]

cool mate thanks, i'll order one on payday.
thanks
