The rest of glass reverse painted in a grain painted style, with the year, and monogram ICS, and perimeter decoration etched (scratched) into the glass from the reverse.  Perhaps a sweetheart gift of a clothes brush, I am not sure. And perhaps the cut paper portion was meant to read as a D turned the other way? Whatever the case, a singular, very lovely and special feeling thing. Blonde bristles, horsehair I believe, tightly held and in very good.condition, and the wood back with a very gentle bow to its shape, which is quite nice.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 3\/4\" x 2 13\/16\" x 1 1\/2\", very good condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48321974534398,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_5553copy.png?v=1780083867","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/beautiful-1866-horsehair-brush-with-cut-paper-and-reverse-glass-painted-inlay-1","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
