Primitive Handmade Horsehair Drafting Brush hinged I am not quite sureI'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!

This one has a hole near the end, making it all the easier to hang from the wall to admire! 24
