Belgian Pre-WWI Dust Beater
€65.00
Original dust beater dating from around 1900, made from a wooden handle with leather strings. These beaters were used to remove dust from clothing, riding equipment, blankets and various other fabrics. The wooden handle bears a soldier's service number, preceded by an “I” in a circle, corresponding to the 1er Régiment d’Artillerie de Campagne. The beater has lost some of its leather strings and shows some woodworm holes in the handle. Despite its age and signs of heavy use, it remains in good overall condition, with the service number still clearly visible.
A unique and interesting personal item.
