| I still have all but one of my Army issue brush set from 1963.
My family often comment. "Dad, where can I buy shoe brushes like your?"
I have surfed the usual sources including ebay. Does anyone have any ideas where I can buy ex military decent quality brush set? | |

| I still have mine in the shed from 1952 with my last four numbers stamped on the side! What would they be worth on E-Bay? | |
