I don't know how old it would be but it is made of straw with a wooden handle. It also is wrapped with a cloth material which holds the straw together. I acquired it in about 1975 and it seemed old then. Can you tell me more about it and if it's worth anything special.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654195680992385326.post-32322499996765190112008-07-18T09:38:00.000+01:002008-07-18T09:38:00.000+01:00These turn up on eBay occasionally.
