Original New Day Brush
I'm not good at pictures, but this is the best I can do for now. If needed, I can try again.

Re: Original New Day Brush
Please note the brush holder is copper plated, and the actual brush is smaller than the Tip Tops.

Re: Original New Day Brush
The example of the copper plated wide brush holder isn't copper plated at all! It is solid copper and was probably made by the former owner. I have yet to see an original New Day brush that used the wide style as used today.

I have several also, wide, solid copper. They were not one off made.Original Smith wrote: ↑Wed Aug 13, 2025 1:28 pmThe example of the copper plated wide brush holder isn't copper plated at all!

They came in one of the new day copy type timers.
As I recall, timing is even further off from a ford roller timer.

Re: Original New Day Brush
This is a spare that I have, it is identical to the NOS one that I put into my new rebuild as you can see it is magnetic. Along side of it is a couple of brushes that I made from an old motor brush like the one behind. Jim
