New Smith Tip

Post by DAVE SMITH »

Just had a new batch of Tips made with new maroon boxes and also a new brass strip at the base hiding the hairs from site.
Inproving the design of this tool, works exactly the same as the old one. Buy them from me at chapman_and_smith@btinternet.com or Handover Brushes ,London, Wrights of Lymm, Cheshire, uk and Angel Gilding supplies Chicago USA.

Hope you don't mnd me sharing that here with you guy's.....

Another Smith Tip?
How'd he do it, Pa?
That used to be an uncommon name.
When will the left handed version be available?

I am the very proud owner of the new Dave Smith Tip, this is a high quality instrument. This is something that will make laying gold leaf a breeze. If you want to do quality work, this is the way to go.

Leo. The new tip has a square section of brass at the end, it encaspsulates all the hairs and looks nice and neat, thats the only change. The size of the tip is exactly the same as the older version, the colour of the box is now in deep burgundy.
