Well i spike with my brother, who is seasoned poker player and he had this to say:
"Back in the day the guy that took you to your table in a poker room was referred to as a "brush" he would take to your seat and brush off the felt on the table so it was clean for a the new player. Wouldn't be surprised if this was something they would give to floorman assigned to that job."
But, still unsure of the information above...
I hope that everyone has a safe and happy Labor Day.
