I hope I'm not boring everyone with these restores, but if you will allow me I'm going to show off one more. Here is an ER 500PB, pure badger that was in really good shape when I bought it. Since the ER model numbers were their suggested retail price I guess the 500PB would be considered one of their higher end brushes, since it would've sold for $5 and it came with a badger knot. It is a very solid and well balanced brush. I don't believe the lettering was colored originally, but I've seen other 500PB's that where so I decided to fill in the letters to spruce it up a little. I chose a TGN 20 mm Pure Badger as the replacement knot in order to try to stay close to what it had originally. Here's a few before shots: And here's the finished product. Thanks for indulging me!

You did excellent no doubt and I agree keep showing us your restored brushes. Your work inspires me in maybe trying to restore an old beat up Ever Ready brush I have.
