Vintage Brush Handles ?

[Sunburyboy93]

Found some more Vintage Brushes that were in a real grotty way so i clipped the Knots off and i'm gonna have some restored by Bill (Bejay).

Got two Butterscotch ones today, along with some other bits, don't know what the smaller of the two butterscotch ones is, but the bigger one looks like a chubby......chubby 1 ???, can anyone confirm ?

Also, can anyone ID the other butterscotch one ?, possibly just a no name generic brush ?

They look soooo saaaaad like that.

They are going to be some lovely brushes Steve. I had my vintage redone by Beejay. He did a fantastic job. It feels like he injects a bit of life and soul into these old brushes.

Here's one of mine:

Sorry I can't help on the ID, it looks like a chubby but the bottom is a tad different to vintage Chubbys that I've seen pics of. Maybe It's worth asking Gary Young?

I think the waist is too narrow for it to be a Chubby but it'll be stamped if it is?
I've no idea what the other one is but its a very attractive handle.
They're all lovely Steve, well done on another good score.:icon_smile:

A collection of restored vintage brushes? Now that's an idea.

Great stuff!

Yeah, very nice handles indeed, but I think the loft is to short for me, but I´m sure you know what you´re doing Steve

the pointy butterscotch one is for precise lathering for the top lip area !!!

will post pics after Bejay has worked his usual magic on them !!

Yes, I can see that, that one would work very nicely on the English market :angel:

Bill´ll make his magic and then they´ll look awesome, I´m not a huge butterscot fan, but they all look wonderful

Not all of our brushes were stamped with the 'Simpson' lampblacking - we made a heck of a lot of 'unbranded' brushes for various outlets, chemists, etc.
We also made variations of regular brush designs for certain customers.
Steve - yeah it is a Chubby. The other butterscotch looks like another one of our old variations. I will dig out some old design sketches and let you know

Hi Gary,

Nice to see you still lurking here and responding to questions. I've got a brush I believe your company made, but no idea when it was produced or what grade or what size the thing is. It's my favorite of my small rotation, and I'll try and find some pics soon, now that I know you still look in sometimes.

Hope to see more of your posts,

Martin

Hi Martin

I still look in on the forums every so often!
My main focus is on my health at the moment. I suffered from a spinal cord tumour 14 years ago and I am now having treatment again for another of the little b*st*rds so the wonderful world of traditional shaving has taken a back seat for a while.

Hi again Gary,

Man.......sorry to hear about your health issues. Whew, I can see you have certain priorites, and thanks for the time you do spend posting here.

Couple of pics...found this in what looked to be unused condition a couple years ago. Nice little estate sale treasure. When you get time (and if it looks familiar), I'd appreciate any info you might have to share.

Thanks,

Martin
