behold!! The plumber's brush
For your amusement I thought I'd post a picture of this brush I have. It started out in life with a nice ceramic handle that matched my Royal London mug. Of course one day I had to drop it, shattering the handle. It was the only brush I had at the time, so I made an expedient handle out of some 3/4 inch copper pipe and an end cap. Perfect fit; I liked it and kept it around.

I guess if it still works, then keep on using it
Wonder if you could polish that copper up to make it shine or have a nice polish look to it.

lol. Yeah, I did polish it up once. It looked really nice but didn't last. I could poly it so it would keep the shine if I was so inclined.

Mike, I love the brush. Way back when, my little ones gave me nice mug and brush set and I dropped the brush with the same result that you got. Did not even think of going your route though and now I could kick myself for tossing it out.
