Here we've got yet one more interesting little thing I never knew existed...?
As the subject states, it is a stamped aluminum 'pocket comb', about 5" long. That'd be all I know about it except I found an old WorthPoint item that further identifies it as a product of the "KEE COMB COMPANY" of Messapoequa, N.Y. which had a stated price of 39c.

I had one in the 60's only they were referred to, in England anyway, as steel combs. They could land you in trouble with the police - mods and rockers & Brighton beach fights between the two groups. Steel combs could be considered weapons, especially 'rat tail' ones.

A metal comb like that would tease your hair “better” than any plastic comb! Experience speaking here, I confess.
