Hello from Hazard!
We still haven’t had any responses yet on Item No. 1250. Randy Winland, of Prospect, Ohio, submitted the item. Randy knows what the item is, so we will reveal it. According to Randy, the item is a hair pincher. It was heated and then used with thin pieces of paper to either straighten or make a ringlet in hair.
