@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.

You should buy one of the combs that are still in tact and display it next to this one when yours done restoring it

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

I used to do material ID by FTIR for work pretty often and it is such a fun test to perform! Love hearing it talked about for such an amazing application! Thank you for sharing this journey with us ✨

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