FS: Kent Genuine Ivory Vintage A7 Brush

diggity · Post by **diggity** » Sun Sep 30, 2012 8:06 pm

This is probably the most unique genuine ivory brush I have come across. It's unused and is absolutely beautiful and pristine, made in 1945 per Kent. It pains me to sell it, but I am trimming down to what I use. Overall height of the brush is a bit over 3 1/2". Knot size from the base is 1". Comes with the original box. Price is pretty firm at $700. You will not find another one like this.

If you're going to put this on the Bay maybe i'll give it a try since it's a remarkable brush after all...

I was extrapolating out to 14 days but I guess that is the danger of putting a straight line between 2 points and seeing a trend.

It's certainly an interesting brush at any price.

Questioning what? Life? Existence? LOL If it's not moving at $700 which was my "firm" price, I can drop it if I like. Anyway, last lowered price to $500 or I will just keep it.

I think i'll wait another week til the "firm" price is down to a $100.

Well that won't happen. Looking at your past posts, you gripe an awful lot about people's prices (which says something considering you only have 9 posts now). I am sure there is another forum out there that is dedicated to griping about prices and things for sale where you would be quite productive.

I just can't keep myself from coming back to look at this brush again and again. I agree that it is both beautiful and unique.

I am SO conflicted regarding: (1) the ethics of owning ivory (but, obviously, this is pre-embargo) and (2) paying more for this than I would for two Simpson Manchurian limited editions.

OTOH, this beauty that was made in my birth year truly needs to move its home to North Texas!

Clive,

My bank account wishes you hadn't put me under that intense pressure.

I just couldn't stop thinking about it, so ..... $\:D/$

Now I won't be able to afford to come out of hiding for another few months.

This comment is totally uncalled for and very ungentlemanly. As has been shared there are other forums one can join where such behavior and remarks are tolerated, but SMF is not one of them.
