Product code: Vintage Curling factory Iron - Silverplate
Rare antique Silverplate curling iron by Meriden B Company. Beautiful repoussé motif on the handles and stand. This vintage piece would have been heated with oil on the large wick under the cap. Given the narrow iron, it may have been used to create waves or very tight curls. It's about 2.5 wide and 7.5 long. The iron is just over 9” and opens and closes easily. It may lighten more if you polish it but I left the dark patina. I don't know if it will ever be Uber light as I typically find the Meriden pieces to be darker. This is a stunning addition to your vanity, bathroom or Silverplate collection. I found an old ad factory which seems similar and it sold for $2.90 but we don't know the year of the ad. My mom purchased it in the 1960s but it is much older. We weren't allowed to touch it!! Lol! Silver Silverplate hair accessories beauty home decor.
