We go to estate sales regularly and
come across a wide array of unique and rare items. We add to our growing
online inventory daily. We pick up new items from all over the world and
all over the US. We also have a growing customer wish list. If
you'd like to, feel free to add us to your saved seller's list and let us know
what you collect and/or need. We’d be honored to add you to our
customer wish list.
We ask what we consider to be a fair
price for anything we sell and understand that our idea of a fair price may be
someone else's 'that's too much' price. If that's the case, feel free to
make us an offer and will consider it. We also have sales regularly,
so check back often.
There is always a Sale by TheBay!
Now onto the item for sale.
For sale is an antique metal filigree and celluloid hair pick.
As you can see, the metal part of this hair pick has a cool filigree design that resembles a tree of sorts and sits atop a two prong amber colored pick. We assume this portion is made of celluloid since it was invented in 1880 and more or less is the first plastic.
This hair pick is in excellent, antique condition with some slight patina on the brass top. We trust it would look great polished, but some folks like the patina look, so we'll let the next owner decide if they feel like giving it a quick polish.
In case you didn't notice, the metal piece is attached to the celluloid piece with a small nail that has been bend inwards on the inside/underside of the pick.
This pick measures 5 7/8" long by 1 7/8" wide and has a slight curve to the pick.
This item will be shipped in a large envelope via insured ground advantage with the USPS. We out all our items
that ship in large envelopes in between cardboard, and bubble wrap if necessary, for extra protection during
shipping.
Thanks for looking and God bless!
