When I was a kid, hair combs were brightly coloured pieces of plastic. Not very pretty at all. It took me a while to realize that many of those pretty hair ornaments that you see in old movies and pictures are actually combs and forks. Here is a collection of Art Deco and 1940’s combs for your pleasure.
1940’s celluloid tortoise comb. I really like the shape!
Art Deco rhinestone comb
Hinged rhinestone comb
Red celluloid bow combs
Faux mother of pearls and rhinestone comb
Mexican comb with silver grapes, 1940’s
Comb with gold inlay and faux pearls
Japanese Art Deco comb

Aluminium, paste and celluloid comb
1930’s peach comb with metal ornament
1940’s pearl topped picks
Rhinestone hair fork
Two really pretty Art Deco combs
If you don’t have hair enough, but still want to use a pretty two pronged comb, then I think this is a perfect idea; use it as a hat decoration!

I love combs and own some vintage ones. But I never worn them because I cannot do a nice hairstyle with them... they always fall down in the middle of the day when I don't have a mirror to fix my hair.... What a pity, they are so cute!
These are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Us thin haired girls are so envious!
You found some great combs! So happy to have one of ours included!
