- A clothes brush of dark brown ebony with long handle, made of two identically shaped parts which are hinged together at end. Wooden spine is wider at the handle, tapering and slanting downward slightly toward the brush end. Close, dark, natural bristles set into each part of brush, softer and brown in one part, and stiffer and black in other sturdy metal hinge joins handle ends. Brush opens on hinge and each part forms arms of a coathanger which hangs from the long twisted loop of brown cord which passes through a hole in each part of the handle. Three small ivory dots at front of bristle end of each part.
