That has brought back memories of my Mom using those to do my Nan's hair.my gran used a evil looking clips to make her hair wavy in the 50s
we did and every time we ended up bleedingArn't they Marcel Wavers? My Nan had those too I wish she had kept them. I used to play with them, pretended they were Aligators . They were a sort of a dull greeny brown. She had a hand clippers for the back of your neck in the box they came in (everything was in it's original box) & my aunty had long curling tongs she heated in the fire, then dipped them in water, hissing then in paper then curled her hair .
From the clippers? Nan used to do her mum's neck. She insisted mum had her hair short shaped & Marcel waved, mum would mimic her, then she rebelled, grew it, permed it, coloured it, bleached it, added hair pieces, rolls like sausages.we did and every time we ended up bleeding
In danger of going off thread here but - clippers like these? These were my Nan's and Mom used to use them on Nan's neck when she cut her hair. I found then when I cleared out the flat after Dad died. No idea why I have kept them as we have electric ones.She had a hand clippers for the back of your neck in the box they came in (everything was in it's original box)

Yes but there is a limit to space in our small house .Janice.......items that have historical or hysterical memories should be kept
I remember going to the barbers when I was young (short back and sides), they cut my hair with hand clippers and sometimes used a lighted spill. Not sure what I was scared of most!Arn't they Marcel Wavers? My Nan had those too I wish she had kept them. I used to play with them, pretended they were Aligators .

Yes, exactly like these. Mum did Nan's moustache and her beard as she called it. I can still hear the sound of those wavers, they were very sinister. They were tge same colour as Nan's cake tins for baking, if that makes sense? But shinyer. Glad you kept them.In danger of going off thread here but - clippers like these?
