I found this lice comb in a 1912 Washington State logging camp. I found a few combs but this one is special. I believe it is Baleen (Carved whale jaw plate) that is engraved with the word "Wizard" and a "no.330" in the lower right. The engraved lettering was once painted with gold leaf. The tines are so tight I doubt it could have been poured in a mold, also the tines bend over with no problem
With all this info to get from a comb, I cannot find a thing. I have had only one suggestion worth noting...."Wizard" is a English word and perhaps this comb was U.K. Millitary issue with the officers #330.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
