Used the Hoffritz 110 today. Great dense body and amazing soft tips.

Next to a modern Chubby 2:

I think this is an old Simpson Persian Jar but it might be an old Vulfix as well. I base that on the knot being called "Super Badger" and I think the other major English makers used different terms. It was branded Dunhill and is likely a 60s or 70s brush. The overall height is 135mm with 22mm by 60mm knot. It appears to have never been used and here are the before and after Spa Day pictures.

​

Also possibly a Rooney although I thought Rooney at that time called it Super Silvertip not just Super Badger.

So last night I pulled the trigger on 2 great brushes. I have the following on the way to me:

2010-2012 Era - CH2 Chubby 2 Band Super - From the Grey Box time.

2012-2014 Era - CH2 SiLVERTiP

Pics when they arrive and I cannot wait for them to arrive either. Should have them in hand next week.

My SiLVERTiP and Super arrived last night:

Added another Chubby 3 Manchurian in a trade. This one seems to be a custom as the knot is actually 32mm over the usual 29-30mm knot. The hair on this is great too much better than my other which I'll look to move now.
