Primitive Straw Brush with Unfinished Wood Handle sculpted armadillo 15ʺW × 6I love the simplicity of this old straw brush, nothing more than it needs to be. It's definitely quite old but the bristles are in terrific shape (I am always amazed at how the straw on these old brushes holds up forever). The wood handle is well worn, which I think only makes it better, with the hook at the end perhaps a later addition, as there is a hole that runs through the handle near the end through which a string or wire could pass. 8 3 4"
