A Victorian hinged hair comb as a ribbon with a deep pinch or gather at the center, through which a large barbell is inserted. Each ball has a large central piqué star circled by six smaller stars, while zigzags dance along the ribbon border making stops at both ends to draw abstract designs. CONDITION: VG antique condition. A tiny bit of zigzag loss to one end of the "pinch". The comb is shiny - apologies for all the glare - with just 2 small chips at each end of the ribbon at back. One of the two center teeth has an excellently executed hidden repair, you know it's there only if you happen to notice the line ~ it is clean, no chips, no sloppy glue, there appears to be a post holding the tooth. So the tooth had a root canal. The hinge has some side to side wiggle but it is secure. MEASURES: 4.5" w x 3.25" h
