    Default Brush aquisitions

    New brush acquisitions from today's excursion. Went to an "upscale" flea market (note to self, no such thing as an upscale flea market.) One of the vendors had 4 shaving brushes in a case. Had her get them out, then she said she had more in the back. Oh did she, she pulled out another 4 brushes, along with a box of razors and barbershop paraphenalia. At this moment I was in BAD so my RAD was put on hold. Will be going back for the razors soon. I ended up buying 5 brushes. From left to right: Ever-Ready blue and white with the number 100 on the bottom, Ever-Ready marked 50R, Ever-Ready marked 202, Brush marked on the bottom 153 that I believe is Ever-Ready but I could use some help, Mohawk marked 3-338. Any history would be very appreciated. Thanks

    How much for that maroon one, 2nd one from the left?! heh. Man I wish I could find a score like that. Those look like they are going to be great brushes.

    The one marked -153- on the bottom is probably a Rubberset. I just cleaned one of those up recently.

    I paid 30 for all 5, maroon itself was $18 and she offered it to me for $9. I keep hearing about great deals and I think I finally got one.

    If you look in the restore thread you can see what that Rubberset 153 could look like. Looks like it could be a fantastic deal if you choose to put some new knots in there.
