Your favorite Somerset Simpson brush, with pictures

Somehow, I think the Chubby series will prevail here, but hey what about those gorgeous Polo's, Tulip's, etc. Include age if you know it.
 
There is/was a vintage Simpson thread here. Have a look at it for some nice ideas.
I've always liked the Polo brushes from Simpson.

Doug, gorgeous brush...if you really want to see a stunner persian, scroll through the thread above...the 'even' earlier somerset PJ's were wickedly curvaceous!!
 
Thanks Marc and Sameer for the older thread I had missed. I just love the older Simpson's between 1985-2005. Keep them coming if you have any to share with us. I know people talk about the quality of the badger hair in the mid to late '80s as being the golden age for best overall quality compared to current badger hair versions.

Oh I know that shape, I'd love to find one! Thanks.
 
A T4 would be lovely...one way to go about it would be to contact Mark @ Vulfix directly. For an older Somerset type, I can only suggest keeping both eyes peeled...
 
My Somersets:
Chubby 1, 2 & 3 in Best.
Polo 8 & 12 in Super.

Could anyone provide a side-by-side pic of Chubbies 1, please? Somerset era - Vulfix era? I'm not sure, but I think the Somerset era Chubby 1 had a taller handle? Thank you. :001_smile
