What is this used for?

@xoallersonxo112 It was used for clothes and hats to brush off dirt and lint. But now they are highly collectible since they are not made anymore with so much detail and Sterling . Reeves & Sillcocks was only in business a few years so their stuff is highly collectible.

@pmb156 ok. Didn’t know if it was for a horse or what.

Lol 😂 I am laughing at myself now but I knew this wasn’t meant for human hair!

It was reported as a replica by someone and I came across it in my “help keep poshmark in tip top shape” thing

So I was curious :) thanks for responding so quickly! I like it it’s very cool!

@xoallersonxo112 Brushes back then used to be made with horse’s hair or the tail.
Reported as a replica? No way. This is definitely genuine. I have had this for years and collected them and Sterling Silver flatware and items for decades.

@pmb156 right? Like someone just happens to be so knowledgeable in this dept that they’re reporting this as a replica 😂😂 sounds like someone salty to me! I think it’s super neat! The things people report on here are silly.

@xoallersonxo112 Someone thinking its probably too expensive and reports it and with no knowledge on antique sterling collectibles and sterling reposse. Reposse is an art.

@pmb156 exactly!
