Dear engineers and enthusiasts.
I have this interesting mechanical tool that looks like an unusual early metal bristles brush hand-operated polishing or cleaning tool. But polish or clean what? Would you be able to figure out its purpose? It is not a big tool. The base is about 7" by 6". The brush wheel diameter is about 5". I have never seen such an example before. It comes in a wooden case. There are no marks or numbers on the tool or a case. What is also unusual is the materials this tool is made of. It has brass parts and back in the days, such alloy was quite expensive for just a cleaning tool. It has to be something more sophisticated if they made a disk out of brass, I think. Any ideas accepted! Thank you!
