I wasn't sure if this really belonged here or in the prop section. But as this is technically an actual, useable piece of gear that Indy did carry around with him, I figured I'd throw it in here. I just got my hands on a used PBG Maproom brush. It came in the mail today from Kodiak, who I believe is also a member here (as well as a few other places). I say used when referring to the brush, only because I'm not the first owner, but trust me, the thing is mint. This is a piece I've always liked in terms of those secondary little gear items, and I was always sorry I missed both of the original runs for these. This brush is from the very first run. And now, enough blathering! Here are a few pics. This brush will find a place of honor in my gear collection. Many thanks Kodiak! -GCR

I think G-mann owns of these as well......Maybe RB too. I always thought they looked nice. I can't remember how much they were going for. To me this is one of those pieces that goes with stuff like the Idol, the RA HP, the map , Indy's glasses and stuff like that. Stuff that you really wouldn't get much use out of but looks great to display. Down the road a ways when we eventually get a bigger house I'd like to have a regular sized "office" where I was able to display stuff like this. It's a good looking addition to your collection, GCR. Edit : By the way where did you get that Egyptian "carving" in those shots? I like that.

I do indeed have a PBG maproom brush as well, included in this mixed gear photo: I think the brushes are a little pricey, but have no clue as to the actual price (mine was a generous gift). I plan to use it in some gear shots, whenever I get a free moment to take some more. I want to replace some of my older ones when I only had the Magnoli shirt instead of the Hoel Howard. Ken

Thanks for the kind words guys!!! I'm not sure how much these run when new, but I got mine for less due to it being "used" (although, like I said, it looks brand new to me). By the way, that's a very cool mixed gear shot, RB!!! And Harry, the Egyptian Carving was a gift, purchased at a local shop a couple towns over, I believe. -GCR

Thanks! I certainly wouldn't have posted a mixed photo if I had one of the maproom brush by itself. It wasn't my intent to take away from the brush itself, but hopefully you knew that. BTW, I forgot to mention the cool Egyptian tablet myself! Ken

No sweat here, I don't take offense to people posting pics, especially when they're pics as cool as that mixed gear shot! (Plus, you should know me well enough by now to know that you can put a hat, especially a hat as nice as Marc's ABD, in a pic with ANYTHING and post it ANYWHERE and I'll think it's plenty cool. ;D ) -GCR
