Thanks, SAM! Once again my watch list has been compromised!

At least the other two haven't been made public yet.

Depends on how you define public.

So much for picking this one up at a good price.

Oh well, there goes another one I wanted. I was going to bid on that Plisson, now I don't see the point.

Yeah, I was watching the Plisson too. I guess we'll see now.

Here's how that plisson with the broken base is supposed to look. If one doesn't pay way too much they'll have a fine brush. If they're handy they may be able to carefully separate the base from the body of the brush and turn a custom base from some other material and have a nifty custom brush.

Here's my faceted horn Plisson 14

I'll go easy on you guys

Are you gents buying these vintage brushes to use or collect?

Use... For this price I don't see any collectable value. Maybe if you were to keep them 50 years, but I'm 59 years old so that isn't going to happen.

Tony is winning both!!!!!!!! I was tempted to bid on the Rooney and not post it here but I wanted someone to get it.

This one may be an older Plisson

I'm not going to play games to win the Plisson with the chipped base. I don't have an Esnipe set up for it. I will bid $34 + 6 for shipping $40 total and if I get it fine if I don't that's OK too.

Well at least the pre-ban ivory brush hasn't been leaked to the public!

Oooopsss!

FYI: The seller couldn't/wouldn't confirm that it was positively ivory. So........if it isn't real ivory don't be surprised. If it is......be happy.
