Does anyone have these? If so, could you please post a picture?
EDIT: Yes, I know they are no longer made.

One here too (PL12 - left)
I have a CH1 - very dense, very white tips, very scrubby, very nice! It was also very hard to find but worth the effort IMO.

I heard a rumor that this was one of a set of 3 - CHI, 2 and 3 that were once in Lee Sabini's private collection. SLCSteve later owned and then sold them. I missed the sale but managed to buy the CH1, which is the one I wanted, privately from a member at SMF.
I think that the Manchurians are really just good quality 2-band super grade bristle that is stuffed a bit denser perhaps. But the lampblack stamped "Manchurian Badger" makes them special and certainly rare.

Is Lee Sabini not the owner of Rooney? Why would he be selling a set of Simpsons? Am I missing something?
My question as well. Can someone fill us in on why Sabini had a complete set of Manchurian brushes from Simpson?
