Does anyone know what type of brush Indy uses in the Tanis Map Room?



Using my Archaeological skills, I have been able to disseminate this much :
[*] It is most likely an antique.
[*] It was probably purchased in the UK.
[*] It is in a "half-moon" shape.
[*] It is made either out of horse hair or camel hair.
[*] It has a thick width.
[*] It was likely used in its previous life as a shoe brush or a neck duster.

Umpire brush

Yep! Knibs7 nailed it. Of course you could get a paintbrush, dip it in stain, cut the handle off and shape it to get the look you want. Maybe an old hand wisk from a fireplace would work, too.

Here's what we were getting from PBG 'back in the day'.

Nice find, Michaelson, sir!

Indeed!

If you search for vintage decorator's brushes or vintage dust brushes, you can sometimes get a good starting point.

All you need to do is type it in the search and all is revealed.

Woah! Where did you find that one?

This started out life as a Wallpaper Paste Brush, cut it down and had to dye the bristles, still not dark enough yet.
Final dimensions are 3 5/8" x 7/8" x 1 3/8", with 3 1/4" bristles.
