Boar Blanks

Hi all: I am restoring two early brushes, a Rubberset and a Klenzo (Rexall Drug), both wood handled from c. 1900-c. 1910. As you may have noticed these early brushes have straight, blonde brush hair (as opposed to bloomed hair that's striped or dark brown). Do any of you have a source for such blanks? If I have to, I'll go with badger (Golden Nib), but I'm really looking to do an accurate restoration if possible.

Many thanks, Mike

Probably Horsehair.
 
...anyone have a source for horsehair blanks?

Thanks to Bob for identifying the hair on these early brushes.
