Here is a great Celluloid Haircomb in a natural Tortoiseshell colour of Honey tones to warm browns . The design looks Transitional - that Art Nouveau meets Art Deco style with elements of both eras! I would estimate that is dates from somewhere between 1910 and 1920. The top is pierced with a light and lovely lacy design and this sits well on a more formal structured lower block with hints of Art Deco. The comb has a forward curve to the top sweeping into two prongs and would be lovely as a side comb or in an updo. This hair accessory is in excellent order and is ready to wear. The dimensions are 6 inches by 2.5 inches at its widest point. Do not miss this pretty comb if you collect vintage costume jewellery and accessories or early plastic jewellery!
