1950s to 1960s Hair Clip - Lucite - Bronze and Black Stripes - on original sales card
This is a most stylish vintage hair slide or barrette hair clip on its original golden sales card. The card is marked “Paulette” as the brand, has a price of 69c stamped on it plus the tiny word “ELECTRIC” plus the statement “ It Adorns your hair …It holds your hair” which is a spot on description of its use! There is a graphic of a lady circa late 1950s to early 1960s. This vintage hair accessory is made from the early plastic lucite and it is in a black and bronze colour with striped effect. This vintage hair clip has a rectangular shape and is gently curved so great to use for your updo or French pleat hairstyle . The hairslide measures 9.5cm in length and is 4.5 cms wide with a nice long metal clip which shuts to a metal ball. Dating from around the late 1950s into the Mod 1960s this slide itself is in excellent condition just ready to hold your vintage hairdo in place! The sales card shows it age, it is a bit dusty, a little bit folded at the corner and grubby but it has been sitting around waiting for 60 years so I think its still great fun and a good example of advertising, branding and design from its era!
