Vintage Faux Tortoise Shell Hair Comb in Ornate Silver Metal Repousse Case :
$23.99


This is a vintage hair comb that has a festive scene in high relief (repousse) with drinking and probably the playing of musical instruments. It measures approximately 5\" long and 1 1/4\" wide.
It is in good vintage condition, though in need of some cleaning. There appears to be what looks to me like verdigris on the metal of the pull for the comb and also inside the metal cover. The comb tines are all present, with two a little out of true. There also appear to be two lines in the comb - these may be internal breaks, but they don\'t extend to the outside of the comb.
I don\'t know a lot about the comb. It is very similar to other combs or cuffs that are from Denmark and are silver plated. I can find no marks for Denmark, or definitive marks for silver. There do appear to be some marks to the left of the revelers. One side (see the third photo) has what looks like a fish and a G with a bar over it. I also see what looks like a 90 to the right of the fish. The other side ( the fourth photo) has an open topped circle with a line through it. Please check the photos for the details.
