Hair combs made of wood and precious materials

When the first hair combs appeared, it would not be possible to install for sure, but one thing is clear, since ancient times, hair combs have been stylish and practical women's accessories.

Combs are the simplest ones, designed exclusively for combing hair, and there are combs that serve as decoration, although combs that combine a precious accessory-decoration and the most common comb.

Today we'll take a look at antique combs. If you love vintage and antiques, do not disdain that this comb was used by more than one unknown beauty of the past before you, you can go in search of an antique comb.

In fact, it is not that difficult, and most importantly, it is not that expensive. Many antiques are unrealistically expensive, but combs are not one of them. The antiques and collectibles traditionally revered among male collectors hold a high price. These are painting, bronze and silver sculpture, silverware, porcelain, numismatics, orders and medals, icons and old edged weapons. And various dolls, combs, hairpins - these items are much less valued by male collectors, therefore their prices are lower. At least, if you wish, you can achieve a low price by bargaining at an online auction or in an antique shop.

When buying an antique comb, do not show the seller that you are admired or interested in the item. Show indifference, and even disdain, making it clear that in fact, besides you, an intellectual beauty, no one needs this comb, and the seller should be grateful to heaven that you generally offer him at least some money. Not always, but often it works, it helps to repeatedly bring down the price of antique combs and other gizmos that are goofy for serious male collectors.

Although if there is strong evidence that the comb on sale belonged to the queen or some other historically significant person, everything is different here, it will not be possible to buy it cheaply.

This is how things are with antique combs - everything is very relative, but after spending a little time, you can enrich yourself with new knowledge and make a profitable purchase. Start your search and research at the world famous ebay.com auction
