Thanks and I concur that's exactly what this looks like. I guess the top just came off at some point. Thanks for the clarification. It's a great little brush and if I could find an appropriate tube for it would make it my travel brush.

Just picked up this model 55 today. gonna restore it with a TGN or whipped dog knot. (i actually pulled the knot out already and now just need to figure out how to clean/polish the aluminum and refinish the black base). Looked through all 12 pages of this thread and I think this is the only 55 on the thread.

Is the base wood? If so, I'd probably sand it down to the bare wood and refinish it with a few coats of black enamel. The metal collar should clean up nicely with something like Flitz or MAAS polish and a little elbow grease.

Not an Ever-Ready, but I restored a somewhat similar Never-Shed that you can see here. For the wooden portion of the handle, I gave it a very light sanding and then applied a couple of coats of ebony Minwax polyurethane. For the metal collar, as suggested by Larry, I polished it with Maas.

Good luck on your restoration-- should be a great looking brush when you're done!

I grabbed some minwax stain/sealer but went with a dark mahogany type color instead if ebony. It should come out very dark, near black but with just a hint of a red tone that I think will look neat. Thanks for the idea.

Here's one I'm doing that I haven't seen in this thread. Help me decide, boar or 2-band finest?

Ever-Ready 355

First; very beautiful brush handle.

Now; it is quite difficult because it looks great with both knots, but if I have to make a decision, I think the boar knot suits the handle just a tad better.
The uncoloured boar hairs match the cream coloured ring very nicely, and the slightly higher loft also gives the brush a more lean and clean look - if you get my thoughts

 

[Dr Dulcamara]

I agree. Boar

And Søren is the man when discussing boars...

Boar wins! Did a test lather this morning and it made short work out of some Stirling Rose:

Scchweet! That bedhead look in the last picture is awesome.

The creepy looking green Ever Ready 100 arrived in the mail today. As it is the cheapest and most disgusting of the several vintage brushes I've bought in the past two or three weeks, I thought it would make the perfect victim for my first restoration. Since taking this photo, the brush has been shorn of its knot, drilled out and polished with Flitz. As I hoped, it shined up nicely and has a bit of a marblelized swirl. More photos in the coming days.

Ever-Ready 1500

Just picked it up today.

I just picked up one just like this. At a vintage site. Under the Erskine name. Relabled Ever Ready?
