Whiting-Adams Vulcan 167
Hello friends. On this restoration I am going to post pictures along the months the restoration process lasts. Step by step.
This brush is a large brush. Handle height is 90 mm, and I can put a 30 mm knot on it. The handle has the 167 number engraved. I think it probably is the total height of the original brush (90 mm handle + 77 mm bristles)
Here the pics before cleaning, when I received it.

Well, here we go. Starting the work. Ferrule was not glued. It had a cork gasket at top of the handle. And the inner ring of the ferrule was oxidized.

After cleaning the inner ring, finally I decided to extract it. With caution.

The work is done until here. More in coming weeks.
Enjoy your restorations! And mine!
