Description
Iliff’s patent “relates to improvements in paint-brushes, and especially to the bridles often attached thereto...By means of said bridle the bristles of a new brush may be held closely together and prevented from spreading, so that the brush will flow paint as evenly and equally as a half-worn brush.” (Patent Number 388,137)
