Fesler fountain shaving brush

Any of you Vintage Brush enthusiasts ever seen an existing specimen of these? Not much found when researching, or in B&B searches.
Another part of fascinating shaving history, at least to me. Seems to have been around 1910-1920 or so
The Marketing states, "Here to stay!" and "You Simply Can't Forget it!"
Obviously I do not own any of these photos and will remove them upon request.

Fascinating. I didn't know this idea had been around so long. I had one of these 30+ years ago.

That's what it made me think of as well!
Also notice the last ad by Warner mentions the brush is (a) Rubberset

Interesting idea but it did not catch on in the general public, they where sure inventive in those early days. Never heard of them before until today.
Thanks for sharing your research.

Great history!! These are certainly ‘new’ to me.

With all that cream constantly in the brush hairs I'm sure the knots soon all deteriorated with use.

Thanks for the history lesson @1Pet5_8

You know, I did a little more research for fun and found this had been pretty detailed already on a couple of other blogs and shaving-related websites. Looks like there were actually a handful of companies all putting this design out there around the same time.
Late to the party as usual haha. Guess my Google-fu needs work!
As I wrung out the last bit of Arko this morning from my vintage Fuller boar brush (by hand) to clean up a couple spots of stubble, I started laughing: "If only someone made a brush that would do that for me" LOL!
