DescriptionWooden-handled brush in original box. The brush (.a) is made of an elongated loop of metal that has been folded in half to hold synthetic bristles; the edges are crimped to hold the bristles in place. The curve of the metal loop has a rubber bumper attached, stamped, "Fuller". The two open ends of the metal loop are inserted into a black-painted wooden handle. The handle widens as is extends further away from the bristles, then narrows into a rounded end; a metal hanging loop extends from the rounded end. The outside of one side is stamped, "FULLER BRUSH CO. PAT. 1,743,319". The inside of that same side is stamped, "MADE IN U.S.A."
The brush is hosed in a paper box printed in blue and orange. Both short ends of the box have a four-sided opening that folds together to close. The center of all sides of the box is light brown with blue and orange writing; to either edge is an orange border; and both ends of the box are light blue. The top of the box is printed in blue, "Fuller Stair and Dustpan Brush/ Fuller [in an oval border]/ With Replaceable Rubber Bumper". The two long sides of the box are printed in orange and blue, "FULLER BRUSHES". The bottom of the box is printed with two columns of information about the use of the brush. Printed in blue below the left column is, "THE FULLER BRUSH COMPANY/ HARTFORD, CONN./ COPYRIGHT 1927 THE F.B. CO." Printed in blue below the right column is, "FULLER BRUSH COMPANY, Ltd./ HAMILTON, ONT./ MADE AND PRINTED IN U. S. A." Each folded opening of the box has a rectangle with "No. 329" printed in blue.
