I was looking at this brush the other day and remembering where it came from. I was given this in a garbage can filled with lots of goodies for my kitchen and bath some 36 years ago from Kathryn Olson as a bridal shower gift. This brush is in such good shape and has served me well. It has been bleached and run through the dishwasher, left out in the cold many times, been used to clean anything you can imagine and even lost a few times. They sure don't make things like they used to.
