EARLY FIRE FIGHTING BROOM

This is a very interesting broom. It is made out of sticks or reeds. When we purchased the broom, we had no idea what it was used for or who used this strange thing. At first we thought we had purchased a real witches broom! After doing some research, we discovered that brooms made out of sticks or reeds were used by early fire fighters to put out fires. We found photos of these early brooms and sure enough we had a real fire fighting broom with a similar metal piece nailed in place to keep the sticks/reeds together.(BTKDK)
