This fan shape design is typical of many combs of the period, with radiating lines or panels resembling sun rays.
Such large fan shaped combs became extremely fashionable in Britain and America.
They were worn in a characteristic manner, being placed in the side or back of the hairdressing at an acute angle, and in such a way that the tall heading stood up proud.
