1665Description
Two bottom pieces of crimping iron. Top piece is missing. The bottom pieces consist of a flat heavy iron piece that fits into the bottom half of the crimper to keep it warm. The other piece is the bottom half of the actual crimper which is a piece of iron covered with a piece of brass sheet. This piece has a small handle with the word "NORTON'S" embossed on it. 1165a is the base. 1165b sits atop 1165a. The piece that is missing would roll across the fluting to warm the handheld instrument that crimps the hair.Acquisition
