| Description : | A small brush with a silver back. The brush is narrow, with fine bristles that may possibly be horse hair. The brush might have been used for brushing or cleaning a felt hat. The bristles are attached to a piece of wood, white in colour, which is inlayed over top of a darker piece of wood. The silver backing has a raised scroll pattern involving flowers. There is a smooth plain area in the centre where a monogram etching could be placed (none). Along the side of the brush there is an imprint which reads: BIRKS STERLING. |
| Fonctions : | According to Barbara Larson, the vanity set (2005.4.6-17) originally belonged to Annie Harris, before she married Bev Sayers. The set originally belonged to Dora Sayers Caro, who inherited it when the house was divided between the three siblings (Geoffrey, Dora and Barbara) when Naomi passed away in 1968. When Dora passed away in 2004, she left the vanity set to Barbara. Items donated by Barbara Sayers Larson. Barbara Larson is the daughter of Annie Harris (1882-1986) and Beverly Sayers (1883-1976) and granddaughter of Arthur (1843-1932) and Mary (1859-1954) Harris. Barbara was born January 27, 1920 and was the youngest of three children. Barbara and her siblings, Geoffrey Sayers (1907-1997) and Dora Sayers Caro (1915-2004) donated Benares to the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1968 after inheriting it from their aunt, Naomi Harris (1883-1968). Many of the items donated by Barbara originally belonged to her mother or Aunt Naomi and came from Benares. Barbara lived in a log cabin originally given to her mother by her grandparents at 1723 Birchwood Drive. She still maintains a close tie with Benares and is now living in Kelowna, British Columbia, with her daughter. |
