Folding comb with intricate design...

TriadHunter · Dec 29, 2016

Pulled this out of about 4" of soil at a local park. For reference, the oldest coin I have found there is a 1962 thus far.

The bristles/insert is plastic, but everything else feels like a decent metal. It has an intricate (stamped?) design. I'm thinking 1950's but that is just a wild guess. Everything I have searched for on the 'Net has resulted in other really cool stuff from the early 1900's.

Any ideas? :?:

Did you see the ones with rotary international symbol? The date listed there was 1950s.

Is there any writing on it?
Does it say, "Pro" anywhere?

I went over it again and didn't see any writing, initials or similar.

Is that comb brass by chance? I googled "vintage folding comb" and that same designed comb is shown in the images section. It's being sold for $10 on the site

Here is a link to another image I found. Apparently it is from a company named Swanky Dame
