Some of those knots look pretty good. Do you use any of them? If so how do they perform?

Nice collection by the way.

I haven't used any yet. I was planning on doing some restoration of the handles first. Some of the knots appear to be keepers.

Thanks, it's made from tagua nut which is great for carving. No maker on the tall brush, it was in a lot from France that seemed to be from the 60s. The knot however is still in great condition and the brush is comfortable to use, so it does

I'm tempted to guess Gibbs on the brush

I'm minded to agree with you there. There are Gibbs brushes with a very similar look, but they've always been boar in my experience not silvertip.
