I purchased this over 10 years ago for tole painting, but it has been stored at home without being used. There may be some age-related deterioration, but please purchase only if you understand this. If there is someone who will use it with care, I would be very happy. *I am also selling other tole painting brushes. I will offer a small discount for those who purchase multiple items, so please feel free to contact me. - Brand: ATHENA - Series: Lavie Round 7200 - Size: #6 - Application: Tole painting - Country of Manufacture: Japan Thank you for viewing.
