Stiff Bassine Churn Brush. Farmers used to clean the inside of milk churns with this pattern of brush. Builders favour them for cleaning masonry. They're quite useful for getting mud out of the treads on the bottom of your shoes, too. Nikon D700 + AF-D Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens.

I think this is a Riley RMA from the early 1950s. Rileys were manufactured from 1890. The company became part of the Nuffield Organisation in 1938. Later it was absorbed into British Leyland, who summarily ended production of Rileys in 1969. For several years before then, Rileys had simply been rebadged Austin and Morris models. This motor shows much more of the Riley spirit. Nikon D2Xs and 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor AF-D lens.
