Sorry to hijack this thread but can anyone date this ?
i’m thinking 70’s but could be way of the mark.
Another ebay find but this one was Brand new in the box.
Not the best brush i own but i still rather like it and there’s isn’t many going around
i’m assuming it’s probably newer than the 70’s due to the plastic ring as mentioned by the OP

Yes that's right used to be wilkinsons, any idea why they changed to wilko?It was Wilkinsons back into the day, now Wilko. You'll probably find Wilkinson Sword brushes sold there as well. I often shorten Wilkinson Sword to Wilki ... so as to distinguish a little from Wilko.
I like the wilko grey handled shaving brush, its not bad at allWilkinsons (or Wilko or whatver they are called) do a half decent synthetic for around £2.
Dont buy the Erasmic one - its pants. Decent handle though if you plan to reknot it. Reminds me of the Semogue SOC handle a little bit.
I reknotted a couple with badger knots.

I miss Woolworths.You are right, there is a Wilko on my high street which opened about 10 years ago, when it opened it was Wilkinsons then changed to Wilko at some point.
It's one of my favourite shops. How many other high street shops sell bird seed, door bell wire, shoe polish and chocolate coins within a few metres of each other?
It's a gloriously random retailer.
I miss Woolworths.
Yea especially the pick n mix lolI miss Woolworths.
Yea brings back memories bro lolAmen brother.
The new Wilko is where Woolies used to be. Wilko is ok, but it's no Woolies.
RIP
Yea brings back memories bro lol
@donnie_arko were you one of the kids that used to munch on the pick n mix on the sly? Lool
