Primitive Handmade Horsehair Drafting Brush woman with children but with its solid black

but with its solid black ground also looks really sharp against crisp white bedding

with a tear at the far left edge of the front cover running from top to first staple

used for shaping sheet metal

with no missing stitches that I can see

Primitive Handmade Horsehair Drafting Brush woman with children but with its solid blackI've had told this wonderful old handmade brush with long, snake like handle is a drafting brush, used for sweeping eraser crumbs off of blueprints, and indeed it would be useful for that though also be good for cobweb sweeping in high places! I just love how primitive and sculptural an object is, with those great wire stitches holding the bristles in place. This one has a hole near the end, making it all the easier to hang from the wall to admire! 24
