Brass-case lens brush... 'lipstick' style

[480sparky]

Does anyone still make the lens brushes in the brass 'lipstick' cases any more? I've tried Googling them, and no luck.

I had one back in the Carter years and lost it long ago. I'm pining for one like it, but the Photo Gods are smiting me.

Every store, including Walgreens and WalMart, has lens brushes. But only with plastic cases that will crack & break within a year. I had that brass job for about 15 years before it went AWOL.

I don't think I've ever even seen a brass one...

I have this cleaning kit, which comes with a brush:
Copper Hill Images - D-SLR CCD/CMOS Cleaning Supplies & Camera Accessories

It is plastic, but it's thick. I've had it for 5 or 6 years - no issues yet.

I can make you one with a gold case.
Then you wil be sure to never lose it.

Only if you encrust it with diamonds, rubies and emeralds.

Go ahead and make two of them. But I want mine to have genuine 'Bitter Beard' bristles.

I can do whatever you want. Josh, yours will take longer to craft.
