Very classy looking Lucky and it(He) looks like he is very comfortable to hold.

Was that white line already there or did you add it ?

Thanks George,

It is a great brush....I really like the 20 and 22 mm knots.

Here is my first attempt at brush restoration. I got two EverReady 150's (along with a couple Super Speeds) from the Bay. They weren't in too bad of shape, but they needed cleaning and new knots.

After removing the old knots and ordering from TGN (I decided I wanted to try a boar brush, so I ordered a UK-20mm Cream Boar for the black and cream handle and a 20mm Silvertip Badger Hair Knot for the red and cream), I polished the handles. After epoxying the knots, here are the final results.

These are pre-bloom as I just finished them:

Edit: I forgot the measurements:

Black and cream: original ... handle 67mm, knot 52mm X 20mm, overall 119mm
restored ... handle 67mm, knot 55mm X 20mm, overall 122mm

Red and cream: original ... handle 53mm, knot 50mm X 20mm, overall 103mm
restored ... handle 53mm, knot 52mm X 20mm, overall 105mm

this one's lettering was very worn so i sanded it smooth. I used a tgn 22mm 2 band finest. This one is seeing a lot of use....

I am having trouble w/ picts disappearing...

WOW, that is spectacular. It looks red to me.

Short but sweet.

ER F40 and 200T (look the same to me!) with 20mm TGN Silvertips.


ER 100 reduced to 50mm due to a chip at the top edge with an 18mm TGN boar set to 50mm.

Do you think this should get a new knot?

Do you think this should get a new knot?

I'm thinking no Michael.

It looks pretty usable as it is.
Have you tried it yet ?

[buddydog]

I used it this morning,works fine actually.It's softer than I expected it to be.I think I like it the way it is.

ER F40 and 200T (look the same to me!) with 20mm TGN Silvertips.

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.

Here is my first vintage brush restore The Tuxedo . I when with a 22mm Bulb Finest from the Golden Nib.

Be still my heart.
I'm in love with that brush.
