<br> Some dictionaries claim that the name "Handeule" is derived from "owl´s wing". They tell the story that in former times an owl´s wings were used as dusters.<br><br> For example: "Handeule oder Handuhle... Das Wort "Uhl" ist der plattdeutsche Name der Eule, deren Flügel vermutlich einmal als Handfeger verwertet wurden." (Kleines Lexikon Hamburger Begriffe)<br>

<br><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> This dictionary from the year 1771 tells us dusters were made with pig's bristles.<br><br> What you mean, the ragebol = Flederwisch is a real feather duster.
