Description:
Up for sale is a highly collectible vintage 1920s-1930s Rubberset cast aluminum handle shaving brush. As verified by measurements, this model measures exactly 5-3/4 inches in total length from base to bristle tip (Handle is 3-1/4" and bristles are 2-1/2"). The brush ferrule collar features the crisp factory size stamp: "4", and the base holds the classic "Sterilized Rubberset Trade Mark Made in U.S.A." circular seal.
This iconic wet-shaving piece features a heavy, beautifully contoured fluted aluminum metal grip base holding its natural boar hair bristle knot. It is a prime candidate for a custom razor den restoration project, or an excellent rustic display item for traditional barbershops and bathroom vanity shelves.
The handle shows an honest age patina with minor expected storage scuffs and trace oxidation. It can easily be buffed out to a high mirror shine if desired.
