That's a nice Polo, John. Spendy, but they are pretty much unobtainium these days. I have 3-4 Finests, and the quality is exceptional. One in particular - a Persian Jar shape - has one of the nicest knots I've ever seen.

Re: FS: Extremely Rare Rooney Finest Brushes
A pair of rare beauties. Finest seemed to come in a range of bristle from very scrubby to almost gel. The ones with long white, slightly prickly tips are unmatched in my experience. Some of the vintage high mountain whites and Simpson came close but never matched the finest. Buy one of these and you could sell the rest of your collection and never miss them.
