Simpson Brushes Appreciation Thread

[Pedigree]

It’s a Vulfix brush but quite an old one looking at the decal. Looks nice! Just saw the care label. I’d say it’s around 10 years old if I was to guess.

I'm quite happy with it.

Now I'm starting to wonder if it might be an 8 mislabeled as a 10? Because it's supposed to be 122 mm tall while the 59 is supposed to be 110mm tall.

It does look like a 10 but I’ll measure the handle of my 10 this evening so you can check.

I'm quite happy with it.

It looks great- I’d be very happy at that price too! Enjoy.

Oh trust me, I am!

The handle of my Polo 10 is 69.5mm high. OD of both the base and the top is 44.5mm. Hope that helps.

What did you measure it with?

Vernier callipers

With a pair of calipers (that arrived today from Amazon), the measurements are as follows:

Total height: 123.6 mm
Handle height: 69 mm
Knot Loft: 54.6
Knot width: 29.5 - 30 mm

So this in all likelihood IS a properly labeled Polo 10.

How about a 59 on 59!

Not sure I’ve introduced these two. Both smaller than my usual choice but so iconic that I couldn’t pass them up. The M7 is a bit scritchy- seller said he’d only used it once but I’m not sure that’s accurate but I’m still hoping that scritch will die down a little. The D5B is soft and a joy to use.

A D5B would be great, though.

Liked the Polo 10 in best so much I pulled the trigger on a Polo 12 in best for a deeply discounted sale/clearance price of $165! (Normally, they are $230)
