I need to continue cutting back on my den size for the move, so I am not offering this brush at a decent sized loss for me.  I highly doubt anyone will find another NOS Somerset Ch3 Best Badger elsewhere.

Up for sale is some true unobtanium.  This New Old Stock Simpsons Chubby 3 in Best Badger was made at their Somerset factory.  I obtained this some time ago and have never used it, though I have been tempted a few times.  While the odds of it selling here are slim, I thought I would offer it here first.  Price is $395  $350, shipped USPS Insured Priority Mail.   If it doesn't sell I will keep it on my shelf.  Ships with original box.

Knot size is 30x58 by my calipers.  Last pic has a Duke 3 for size comparison.  No, the Duke 3 is not included.

Those old Chubby Best knots were some of the greatest I've ever used. Good luck with the sale, Doug.

I've been debating using it for a while. I'm not a fan of huge knots, which the Ch3 certainly is, but man it is so tempting to use it. If it sells, great. If not, no big deal. I do think the price is fair, it's less than I have seen some used ones go for on other forums.

If it doesn't sell I will use it. It'd sell easily at $350 lightly used. I'm just offering someone a chance at a never used Somerset.

It is a very nice brush.  It is a good opportunity indeed. Unfortunately my experience with Simpson management was let's say, unremarkable. I would have been all over it for sure.

This brush is from long before current management. It was still Simpsons when this was made. Big Grin
