And how do I use it? No, not some weird, spikes. Brush with a thick, hollow handle, brass spring loaded valve to allow...something to pass through and coat the bristles. Orafice is about 2mm in diameter. Bristles also look to have a threaded cap (now missing)
That good sir is an old fashioned fancy tickler. You haven't lived until you've had your fancy tickled by one of those.
Never would have guessed a shaving brush. Seems way to industrial and heavy duty.
Any alternative ideas on what to use it on in the garage?
It's for inking stencils on boxes.
Cut a stencil and brush the ink on a box or crate. I've actually brought one for work in 1991-1992? We had a stencil puncher - black ink was really nasty.

Except for the spikes. Nobody knows what the spikes were.

In the 7th week of boot camp you get sent out to work somewhere, store, galley work etc. Two guys from my squad were making those old school stencils, after working all day one commented to the senior no "Lotta people here have the same middle initial". NMN = No Middle Name. Had to do them all over.
It threads onto the end of your 1911 to work as a solvent trap. Then you use those spiked stick things to clean out the passages.
You know the ones.
