Does Anyone Know What This is? This Time The Historical Society Is Looking for Your Help.

What is it?

To the best of our knowledge it is a hair curler, unfortunately we don’t have much else to go on. If anyone knows the age or how to use it, that would be a great help!

It looks to have 2 curlers on it- one grey and removable, the other black and padded with rubber that can lock into place. Both are attached to a black ?plastic rectangle. It measures about 8 cm long by 2.5 cm wide (or 3 ¼” x 1”).

If someone has another one of these curlers, or another artifact of interest please let the museum know (as we are always accepting donations); this is the only curler that we have of this type and it is very interesting.
