Unknown cover

[How Lucky]

This is something I found some time ago. I'm thinking it would have been a cover for something that one would sprinkle powder from. Anyone know?

Foggy memory hints of a tire tube patch kit.
Your piece used to rough up the tube surface to enhance adhesion of glue. (?)

It looks a lot like a heat shield like what are used on motorcycle exhaust pipes but I don't see anywhere it could be attached.

Any holes on the sides? Looks like a 1940s hair curler.

Agree. Half of a hair curler. Probably shaped like that for "marketing" to the girls.

Just curious, why would a hair curler have star shaped holes? And why would it be curved?

If you look closely (besides the cut out stars) you will see lines, stars and starbursts stamped on the metal. There is also a flange of metal running all along its edge.

I did see that. I am not convinced it is a hair curler, yet. But I don't have any other suggestions as to what it might be.

It scares me.

Arrrrg.

Here is my best guess on this thing. I think it's a perfume powder container cover. Probably called "Stardust", "Starburst", "Shooting Star" something along this line. Well the pictures are here for any future treasure hunters to view.

It's the top to a pocket/hand warmer. Late 19th C.

But I bet it will curl your hair if you put hot coals in it and put it in your front pocket.
