WOOT!

Thanks for bringing this one back.

Limited run or long project? If the Mrs catches me buying a brush when we are about to buy a house I may be shot.








Side note . . . let's try not to turn this into a 'shopping" thread with questions about how much it is or trying to place orders. Sorry to act like I think I'm a mod, but sometimes a thread like this can disintegrate.

Pricing will be set by the vendor.

So what do you want to know about the history of the Rover?

Hi again guys!

Back for a short while but not going to be participating a great amount. Have some serious health niggles that will take priority for a while.

YES!

Hopefully it is more than just a drinking song.

I hope your health concerns move along without major problems or implications.

Nice looking brush. That Simpsons sticker looks different - is it just the lighting in the photo or is it a metal backed sticker rather than the usual plastic film?

Rick, Ha!....good eye! I think it's just the lighting, but maybe not. FWIW, I too would like to hear the history of this particular brush and it's name if Gary can find his way back to this thread briefly.

Actually, I'm just wondering if I shouldn't move the whole thread to Shopping. It is made by a vendor and does announce/advertise a product. Many's the vendor who has had to leave for ignoring that rule. I'll move it and prevent Mark from joining them!
