Wanted: Top hat brush

[crinolinegirl]

I'm looking for a top hat brush for my side saddlin' top hat. I've passed by countless numbers of these at antique fairs, but of course the time you need one, their aint any about!!

What do they look like, Lei? How are they different from say...a clothes brush?

I think this brush in my hat-stuff collection is what Lei is looking for. It is curved, to better brush the high, curved crowns of top-hat style hats.

Yes, thats how it looks like- with curves. I've seen them mistaken as a "crumb sweeper" but they're really for top hats :D

I will see if I have one but I doubt it.

I admit I had a clue with this brush, as it bears a label that says "The City Hatter."
