I know of which you speak!
Never used one but have seen them. Seems they are either configured for square or rectangle clay tile chimneys.I wouldn't use one on my SS liner - poly brush only on a SS liner.
If you are into antiques it would make an interesting conversation piece.

Used one for years in my 8X12 tile chimneys and it did a great job. Gave it to my neighbor when I lined the chimneys and he still uses it.
good to hear i run a clay 8x12 so this should fit the bill perfectly...tryed doing a google search cant find any pics...anyways this thing is super cool..going to take advantage of the warms temps this week and give it a shot !
There is a photo here: chimney cleaner (scroll down until you see the photo)
If anyone is interested in purchasing one, a local hardware store near me still stocks them (believe it or not!). PM me and I will forward the info on the store.
