What brushes?

[276ccm]

A friend of mine bought these pinstriping brushes for me a while ago at a stor up North in Norway. They have been in the store for ages. Anyone got any idea which brand these brushes are?

They look to be German made.Interesting the way the #3 is stamped at 90 degrees to the others.How do they work?What I would recommend before using them is to put a bit of light oil(a/c compressor oil or mineral oil)in the hair and standing them vertically with the hair up for a day.This will allow the oil to wick into the metal ferrule and help prevent paint from collecting in there and ruining the brush.When getting ready to use,wash the brush with a bit of mineral spirits and start painting.Re-dip in oil after each use.
