Rubberset 543 /544

Great Ebay score today. A Rubberset 543 and 12 replacement brushes (model 544) ready to be restored.

That's neat! Are you going to have several different knots to rotate with that one handle?

Very cool, congratulations, look forward to future pictures.

That's awesome. Super score and congrats.

Nice find.
The replacement brush caps look exactly like the one that came with my Rubberset turnback brush.

Yes, it is exactly the same cap. I've found a few of these travel brushes in pretty good shape.

Yes, that's the plan. I have another one of these but it hadn't held up that well through the years. I'm hoping this one is in better shape. I'll know in a week or so.

Here is how the other one looks:

Great find! I hope your new restores last longer.

Terrific score, BladeShark-- congrats! Looking forward to seeing pics with a variety of knots.

Now, if only several cases of NOS Rubberset 400 brush heads would turn up on eBay . . .

Ain't that a shaver's wet dream!

The brush arrived in today's mail. Wow, what a beauty. The handle looks nearly perfect with little visual indication of how old it truly is. I'm going to have to dive into my stock of knots and see if I can get a few of these going. Pictures soon!

For archival purposes here is the ebay link to the auction.

Wow! That's all I can say.
