Description

Early 20th century barbers point of sale hair comb and brush

We share what we love, and we love this rare example of an oversized point of sale barbers hair comb and brush. Dated from the early to mid-20th century, the comb is made from a hard plastic and stamped H Fishlove & Co Chicago USA. The wooden brush has metal bristle’s and is stamped Hygex made in England. Used as promotional items in a barber shop at one point. They are very quirky, and we have never seen the like.

Size of inches: H 5” x W 20” x D 6”

Condition: Aged

Origin: England and USA

Age: 1920 - 1940

Completely solid in structure and form, Natural aging across all surfaces, the wooden surface of the brush is worn in sections with a few bristles missing. Unfortunately, we cannot show all areas of these items, but we have done our best to show as much as we can. If you want to see more pics or know more details, please get in touch with us before making a purchase.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

These 1930 mid-century commercial barbers grooming collectibles comprise an oversized vulcanite comb and an ebonised wood hairbrush, both made from dark brown materials. The large black comb carries embossed typography across its spine reading Super Comb, whilst the oval brush features a pink rubber cushion base set with wire pin bristles, an embossed Hygex mark on the handle, and natural surface wear including minor paint loss to the timber and a few missing bristles. Measuring 12 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, this solid pair originates from England and the United States and works well on a bathroom counter or within a gentleman's library display.

FAQs

These items make distinct decorative accents when displayed on bathroom shelving, arranged inside glass vanity cloches, or mounted on walls as part of a curated vintage commercial display.

Wipe surfaces gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding water submersion or harsh chemical cleansers which can degrade early synthetic materials and strip original wood finishes.

Look for stamped or heat-embossed brand typography on the handles, hand-set wire pin construction, and signs of genuine age-related wear or patina on the rubber cushion and timber.

Traditional pieces featured ebonised or stained hardwood handles, natural or wire bristles mounted in rubber cushions, and combs moulded from early plastics, vulcanite, or celluloid.

During the early to mid-20th century, manufacturers produced branded hairbrushes and oversized combs for barber shops to demonstrate hygienic grooming equipment and market commercial hair care products.
