This is such a cool piece. This brush has no markings on the surface, but I suspect there may be someting below the aluminium. It appears to be the DIY effort of some bloke many, many moons ago in a country far, far away to give his brush some more mileage or a certain look and feel. The brush is in a style used fairly often by 'Rubberset' and 'Ever-ready', but this one has been clad in aluminium sheeting. It is quite a crude, basic mod, and one can see it was done by hand using manual tools; the result is a very cool and unique, and also a sturdy, durable brush. We fitted this brush with a 28 Tuxedo synthetic to make sure it lasts another 150 years, and because it worked best with the handle in terms of looks.
It stands 142 mm high, has a 58 mm loft, the brush weighs 91 grams.
