Old Phoenix Brush Co Horsehair Shop Brush carved whistle the founder of Kellogg's cerealThis is a beautiful and super useful old horsehair work brush made by the Phoenix Brush Company. It has definitely seen some use the wood is well worn and it is missing a few bristles at the head and along one side, but there are plenty left to do the job of sweeping off the work table, and to look great doing it! 16" long (the handle itself is 14 5 8" long), 4 1 2" wide (handle is 1 3 4" wide), and 3 1 2" deep.
