Old-Fashioned Curling Iron

Here's an old-style curling iron / hair crimper, like your grandma and great-grandmother used to use. It's seen a lot of use and prettied up many women, but is still in great shape. The handles are solid, the hinge opens easily, and closes tightly. The blades are still centered and fit together perfectly.

Would be a nice bit of memorabilia or a lovely addition to a vintage decor. How about as a gift for your favorite hairdresser?

Measurements:
9-1/2 inches long
2-1/2 inches wide at the handles
1/4 inch diameter at the metal tip

This is a well-used curling iron. The blades and handles are darkened from heat and from hair. It belonged to either my mom (as a young girl) or her mother, I'm not sure.
