@goodman.lafon: So many of you have a hand in this treatment. Thank you! Now we know what the comb is made of, why it likely fell apart, and what it used to look like. This video mostly focuses on research, so I’ve also released Part 4, which shows visible progress. #thankyou #artconservation #conservation #artrestoration #restoration #antique #comb #haircomb #accessory #hairaccessory #peacock #gilding #gilded #18kgold #plastic #oldplastic #tortoiseshell #costume #History #historicaldress #frame #repair #grandma #research #analysis #ftir @Lamb
Since they were attempting to mimic tortoise shell combs I’d expect that the combs are similarly unique in patterning. I’d have to research how cellulose was produced but I imagine it’s a process similar to water marbling.

The F.P. CO looks like the Ford & Perry Co. Inc makers mark. It’s a jewelry manufacturer that operated in the USA between 1915 and 1922

Would it be possible to afterwards coat it with, say, paraloid or lascaux to protect it a bit more?
