Default MANE COMB

WELL JACK, It's a MANE COMB. Used to comb out the mane on horses. Looks like it is in pretty good condition too. Probably around $4.00 to $7.00 at auction...Maybe a little more...Appears to have a celuloid handle so I would think it probably to come from around Late 30's to Middle 40's....Hope this helped a little....PAPPY :D :D :D

P.S. Is the handle celuloid or wood?
