Lot 169: A Vintage Polypropylene and Steel Chimney Sweeping Set
A vintage polypropylene and steel chimney sweeping set, comprising a collection of flexible rods and specialized clearing attachments. The rods are manufactured from flexible black polypropylene tubing, each fitted with threaded zinc-plated steel ferrules at both ends for sequential interlocking. The set includes two primary clearing attachments: a circular steel scraper head and a double-worm steel corkscrew designed for removing flue blockages. A white adhesive inventory label reading 169 is affixed to the rods. The equipment is bundled within a repurposed clear plastic merchant bag featuring the printed text Wickes, BUILDING, and Quick Laying in orange and black lettering. No further manufacturer marks, stamps, or model numbers are legible on the tools or connectors. The components show clear evidence of professional use with soot and dirt deposits throughout the bundle.
