Plastic dressing comb, black

Object/Artifact

A one-piece molded comb of black plastic in the combination form: a row of coarser, wider-set teeth across roughly half its length and finer, closely set teeth across the other half, with a plain spine. The plastic is notably thin/flimsy and lighter-gauge than the other Cuban combs in the collection. Molded into the spine are "HECHO EN CUBA" and, near one end, the number "10"; a small circular ejector-pin mark is visible on the spine (a molding artifact). No maker name or brand is present. The comb shows surface scuffing and wear.
