Vintage FULLER Bakelite Brush Butterscotch 8" Curved bristles Lint-brushThe brush measures 8.25" long X 1.25" wide.
Manufactured by Fuller Brush Co. a company born New Years Day in 1906 out of a home's basement but soon that same year found a home in Hartford CT, under the name Capitol Brush Co.
The full history of the brand is on their website and it is full or details and a few surprises, it is worth the read!
The brush looks great 98% of the bristles all point in the same direction. It appears it was once a bit lighter but the color has darkened over time to a pretty butterscotch tone. Judging by the lint found among the bristles this brush was only used for that single purpose, I tried to remove as much of the remaining old lint I could and it has been washed with warm soapy water. But there are a few stubborn pieces of thread and pilling balls that do come out from time to time.
The brush is heat-stamped "FULLER" and "STERLIZED" on the small handle
