Thanks Josephine - it gives a good feeling to find others enjoying the website, it make the effort worthwhile, especially when you are not related. If anybody living in the Bristol area finds a household brush - in a junk shop, antique shop, or where ever - with the BB and Boar logo or ABC logo on it then please let me know.

In doing so, I've come across the following interesting web page on E. Brison and Co. http://www.wedmore.org.uk/brison/e-brison.htm It's worth a look for the letter head and illustrations even if you don't have an interest in brushmaking. Josephine Geoffrey T.
