Pretty Antique Round Brush with Turned Handle and Natural Black Bristles walnut crow call I imagine used by technicians

I imagine used by technicians working for the telephone company

the middle obviously a pin cushion

I really love the fox on this German beer stein

with just a bit of loss to the color litho on his chin

and the French title--"L'Homme avec son ours" (Man with his bear)--written on the underside perfectly articulates the best friend status of this particular bear

Pretty Antique Round Brush with Turned Handle and Natural Black Bristles walnut crow call I imagine used by techniciansI am incapable of walking away from a nice old brush, so here's another, this one with an old ribbon tied tightly around the top of the handle, which has prevented me from figuring out whether the handle is threaded or not! It's beautifully aged with a full head of tapered black bristles, horsehair I assume, flecked with a few white ones. Some wear to the edge of the wood at the head but in overall very good shape and really pretty. 11 3 4" long
