Description

MARCEL HAIR WAVER, 1929. The hair waver has metal prongs which are shaped to give a wave hairstyle. There are various engravings on the metal prongs that read, " SUBPEDO/ LEBIJOU PAT./ FEB 3-20/ PATENTS PEND/ MARCELWAVER C2, CINCINNATI, O./ 42 WATTS/ 110 VOLTS." Toward the middle section of the metal prong is an electrical plug that attaches to an extension cord which came with the waver. The rest of the waver consist of three black-colored handles. It is in good condition with only minor damages to note such as light surface abrasions and scratches.
