Anyone ever seen a Kent BK4 like this before?

Recently grabbed this Kent bk4 off eBay for a good price. I'm still waiting to receive it but I was wondering if anyone here could answer a few questions for me about the brush. I've seen many Kent brushes online but never seen one with that particular logo. I'm assuming it's an older logo but I'm unsure of what year it's from. If anyone has a Kent brush with that logo I'd love to hear when you bought yours. The other things I'm confused about is it he base of the handle looks quite a bit thicker than any other Kent brush I've seen on the net. It might just be the camera angle? Anyway would love it if anyone could tell me more about this particular brush.

Many thanks,

I would guess 90s to early 00s but can't say for sure. A good thing about Kent is they keep records on every brush model they have ever sold so try sending them an email and I'm sure they'll be able to give you the exact dates.

I think you may be right I posted to another forum and someone had an 80s brush with the same logo, but apparently they kept using that logo until at least the 1990s? I think I will shoot Kent an email though. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm very curious how this compares to their newest line of brushes. I've heard some people say they don't make them like the used to but I can't speak to that fact myself.

The largest difference of note is that yours says "Made in England" whereas the current ones do not say this, it is generally accepted they are now manufactured in China to Kent's specifications... Quality may have suffered as a result.
