It is a grain painting brush, also called a \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003epencil overgrainer\"--as one might imagine, this would allow the furniture painter to create five parallel lines in a single stroke, simulating the look of wood grain lines. And a little research shows that these were made in different sizes--this one marked 3. Wood handle, tin wraps, and I believe the bristles are horsehair. Plenty of life left in it should one want to put it to use, but quite beautiful just as an object. Later 19th century I believe.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 1\/2\" x 2 7\/8\" x 3\/16\", good antique condition, bristles tight and full.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48531706478846,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_8930.png?v=1783038794","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/cool-and-scarce-antique-grain-painting-brush-4","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
