FOUND: MISB Simpson 59 + $500 for Rooney Finest
Hello,
I've been trying to shake something special loose for a while, and I'm offering a pretty special brush in trade.
I am adding up to $500 plus the brush below in trade for the right used Rooney Finest. My preference is for unusual handles (Emillion, Urn/Polo, etc.) or Styles 1 & 3 (sizes 2 & 3). I would also consider Olde Apothecary Shop Finest and Truefitt & Hill Finest. May also consider Classic Shaving's batch of Morris & Forndran with Rooney Finest hair (marked Blonde Badger).
It is a Simpson 59 Best Badger sealed in the original packaging, circa 1960s:
The bottom of the package:
Underneath the sleeve:
Sticker just visible through tissue paper, still affixed to the brush:
Handle visible at bottom with butterscotch tint:
"A Simpson Badger Brush" & "Made in England" on package:
Instructions sheet visible under the tissue paper:
Size comparison with some more recent Simpsons:
Hair density visible through top of package (through the dust):
I'd like to trade for a Rooney Finest. I'm OK with a solid, well-cared for used brush. I live in Nebraska USA and prefer US trades. I would also consider Olde Apothecary Shop Finest Badger or Truefitt & Hill Finest Badger.
Thanks for looking!

Have you communicated with John (churchilllafemme)? He has a large assortment of Rooney Finest brushes. Wouldn't hurt to ask. Just a suggestion.

Re: WTT: MISB Simpson 59 + $400 for Rooney Finest
I'm still looking for trade of the 59 plus cash up to $400 for a used Rooney Finest. Preferred models are: Emillion 2, Urn, Style 1 medium or large. Other styles considered. Also interested in Olde Apothecary Shop and Truefitt & Hill Finest.
Please PM me if I'm off on value. I'm not trying to low-ball. To my knowledge, a Rooney Finest has not sold for over $650 in a public sale.
Thank you, Shavemyface.
