Maury shared this link to another Jeep Pan Brush that’s available on eBay. This item doesn’t seem to be related to Willys-Overland or jeeps in any way that we can tell, other than you could clean jeep parts with it.

Here are a couple previous examples of the Jeep Brush.
1. This brush was available back in 2012 on eBay. It, like this other example, has 1014 stamped on it for some reason.
2. This brush was available for sale on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/778429607/vintage-jeep-pan-brush-1014
Looks like it says PAN BRUSH to me….still a mystery though..
And now I see the description does say PAN brush……Floor pan, Oil pan??
I believe these brushes were used to clean the old gasket material off an oil pan when dropping an oil pan for one reason or another and replacing the pan gasket with a new one – nice and clean for a good seal.
Its just a wire brush with an angled handle.
Yep .. I agree. It looks like Pan to me, too.
