Antique Two-toned Horsehair Brush with Turned Handle brown leather flask In perfect vintage conditionAnother pretty antique brush, this one unusual for its combination of longer black horsehair bristles surrounded by tapered shorter blonde ones. The nicely shaped, reddish stained turned wooden handle features a hole near the end for easy hanging. Late 19th century or so I believe. Good overall condition, with a little bristle loss, a fair amount of wear to the wood, and a little cracking (perhaps a repair, but I'm not sure) to the wood on the handle
