Hi guys, I have been looking to buy a restored Rubberset or Ever-Ready brush, but not having much look at the moment. So was wondering if there are any good modern brushes, made in a vintage style?

I currently use a Crown King Switchback 400

You can sometimes find the Rubberset 400 on ebay USA.....

I love the style of the 400, I have 3 Razorock 400 style brushes, one of them I re-knotted with a 2 band badger and another with a Semogue 2000's boar knot. I also have the BSB version of the 400 with a Shavemac silvertip knot, my first 400 style brush was the Shavemac.... I love them all.
 
My brush finally arrived today. Absolutely love it.

I've only seen one of these before. So I am assuming they must be pretty hard to come by.
 
My vintage Simms (made in Canada) is similar. I installed a TGN two band knot.
