Description
Vintage Wood Art Brush / Double endEstablished in 1853 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Martin F. Weber is one of the largest manufacturers of art materials in the United States. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries—the golden years of the prestigious World Fair—F. Weber & Co. frequently won gold medals for its fine quality products.
By the early 1920s, F. Weber & Co. also had three retail stores with locations in Philadelphia, Baltimore and St. Louis.
After the death of Frederick Weber Sr. in 1919, his sons Frederick (Fred Jr.) and Ernest incorporated the company and renamed it F. Weber Co., Inc. Which places the manufacture of this brush by or before that year.

Excellent soft bristles, feel like rabbit fur. Sadly if you shake them against your palm it will drop a few hairs each time, wood shows 3 straight dent marks and not much else.
