....and anyone else that might be interested. :D

Checkout this really cool hat brush I picked up. I've been patiently waiting for about a week and a 1/2 now & it finally showed up today. I think it's the coolest hat brush I ever seen.

It's a Vintage Boomerang Brush, with Aussie markings and Hieroglyphics on it. It's covered with genuine Kangaroo Leather. Way cool.

That IS cool. Is it definitely a hat brush, and not a shoe brush? I only ask because of the foot symbols.

Worse. All the dust you flick off circles around to the other side of the brim.

(Seriously, that is a pretty cool item.)

That iscool. I wonder how old it is?

The Aboriginal motifs were big back in the 50's here, ironically at about the same time as the Aborigines themselves were treated like 3rd class citizens without even the right to vote!

As someone fascinated by Ancient Egypt, I see your point. However, the work has fallen into common usage for all "ancient peoples writing or markings."

Or do we hold the language to a higher standard here? :)
