yep,its a merrit 99-5.quite a sweetie.olscholl said it was super soft when he got it bloomed outWhat is that red handled brush that looks surprisingly like a 400, but that my cruddy travel laptop won't let me see the maker's mark clearly?

I was thinking there was a Rubberset brush with an Ivory or maybe Bone Ferrule, but can not find it now.
Thank you, Dr.!It is a Merit. I have one in butterscotch and black ferrule
Great - another brush to put on my watch list! <LOL>yep,its a merrit 99-5.quite a sweetie.olscholl said it was super soft when he got it bloomed out
Beautiful brush, and sorry to have bid you up on ebay I stopped short because the $13 shipping to Colorado was a killer, but I lived in TO for 5 years so I know first-hand how expensive Canada Poste can be! Glad you got it, and I'm sure your restoration will be a good one.Here's another made in Canada Rubberset.
The knot is about 29mm and the handle height is 80mm
Here are pictures before the beginning of the restore

Here's a clean up of the handle so you can better see the Old King Rubberset mark on the ferrule

Great score, heirloom gear is the best. The 49-4 was called the "Big 4" and was designed for Barbers. It was the biggest of the 49 series.
Hmmmmm.....lemme think about that.Thanks for letting me have it
You can have it for a 400 lol
nice collection btw
