Had my eye on this for the past few months in a local antique shop, and broke down yesterday and bought it.
I have no clue, other that it's a big longhair Hardwright brush...
I'm guessing horse hair or boar? Took images along with a straight and some Arko to show size of this monster.
Maybe for application of barbers' talc? I soaked it, and soaped it up, but it's way too long and soft for face lather, unless you hold it half way up the bulb...
Any ideas?
Help!

I think you may be right. Looks like the brush the barber used to apply talc to me after he used the straight razor.
Classically at least talc brushes tended to be smaller horse hair brushes. A Big brush like that would create a huge cloud of talc.
It looks more like a curiosity piece or maybe Andre the giant used it.
Looks similar to a brush barbers used to brush cut hair off you but home made with a bad shampoo.

If my wife catches me giving an old brush a shampoo and conditioner, she will be well within her rights to claim me "unsound".
LOL...
