Vintage 1940s Faux Tortoiseshell Celluloid & Brass Hair Comb Barrette

Hailing from the 1940's is this beautiful and classic vintage faux-tortoiseshell hair comb with a sleek curved gold-tone metal (believed to be brass) accent across the top. The warm amber and deep brown mottled comb has a classic tortoiseshell appearance and a wonderfully elegant, understated vintage shape. The comb appears to be celluloid or another early plastic rather than genuine tortoiseshell, though the exact material cannot be confirmed. The gently curved top follows the shape of the head, while the closely spaced teeth are designed to slide into the hair and hold a side sweep, French twist, chignon or other vintage- updo. A beautiful little piece for anyone who loves authentic-looking period accessories — equally lovely worn with a 1940s victory-roll hairstyle, tucked into a French twist for an old Hollywood look, or styled simply with modern clothing for an understated vintage detail. Approximate measurements: ● Width: 4” ● Height: 2” Condition: It shows light age-appropriate surface wear consistent with a vintage piece. Overall excellent!
