A Carpet Beater For Buns

A while back I got an email asking me if I knew where to buy an old-fashioned carpet beater. Not a used one, or an antique; my correspondent didn’t want anything touching her buns that had previously touched dirty carpet. No, she wants a new one.

I couldn’t help her, but I did find this illustration:

If you know where to buy a new one of these infernal devices, please get in touch.

2012 update: Added a bigger picture size and can say that I now know the artist is Paula Meadows — something I did not know in 2003.
