The S.F.F. Auction is live.
S.F.F. Auction Details
I know it has been a long time coming and that folks have been anticipating the auction of these pieces that are made for a good cause. This is the season of giving so I’m glad to be able to finally set up this auction and iron out all the details necessary. Here are some of the details on each brush once again as well as the dates that the auctions will run. There are three separate auctions for each brush on eBay. Each brush’s knot will be tied to order based on the winner’s preference. I hope everyone tries for a chance to own one of these pieces and I know they will hold a special place in The Varlet’s timeline.
Up for auction are:
S.F.F. - August 2021: Ranger Tall Spec. 29mm, Dark Blue Pearl/Light Blue, Gold Enamel Engraving. 100% of proceeds to Semper Fi Fund. Find the listing here.
S.F.F. - April 2021: Gaslamp, 29mm, Cement Marble with White Enamel Engraving. 100% of proceeds to Semper Fi Fund. Find the listing here.
S.F.F. “20”: Gaslamp, 29mm, Carbon Interference and BLK / WHT Marble, Silver Enamel Engraving. 100% of proceeds go to Tyler Vargas-Andrews, US Marine Sgt. injured in Afghanistan. Find the listing here.
Each auction will end on December 29, 2021 around 6pm Pacific Time. Please check the individual listings for the exact ending time of each auction. They are no reserve auctions. Brushes can be shipped to US addresses only, and processing time for knot construction, final assembly, and shipping will be 5 days from the auction ending. I will get in contact with each winner at the end of the auction and discuss knot preferences.
Good luck to all the bidders!
Production Update
May/June
The May/June production run is just about finished, with only a couple of brushes left to be delivered. They will be shipping imminently and that will complete the May/June run.
July-Sept
The July-Sept run is going into the final stages with many pieces already near complete in terms of finishing. I will have individual updates for each patron in a couple of days or so, probably the day after the Christmas holiday.
Oct-Nov
The Oct-Nov is well underway, the material casting has been going pretty well, with the cooler months being optimal for best results in the casting process. Pieces are being rough shaped, I’ll have some initial handle photos soon.
I hope everyone has been enjoying the Holidays and I will plan to have perhaps two more updates before the end of the year. I will be giving more individual updates via email when I have had time to take and edit photos. Brushes are continuing to ship and I am available via email should anyone have any questions. That’s my report for the time being and hope everyone has enjoyed the blog thus far. Thanks so much.
