    I purchased this little brush at an Estate Sale and have been unable to determine what it was used for. I can't find anything similar on other sites. It is about 4" long. I think it might be badger or boar hair. Any info would be appreciated! 20190324_181457.jpg

    could be for sweeping crumbs.......or a clothing brush........
    if it has a pin on the back..it's for a tyrolian hat.......

    Thanks! I was also thinking of a clothing or hat brush. There is no pin on the back.
