'Combs' in collectible terms usually means hair ornaments used as decorate the hair or keep elaborate hair styles in place or prevent long hair being blown by the wind. Unlike 'Boxes' I discovered the highest prices for combs went to USA listings.

And Faberge (famous for many different intricate designs and almost always certain high price sellers on eBay), tortoiseshell or jet and created by iconic artists like Lalique (famous for glass ornaments), mother of pearl, especially made from carved horn, can fetch thousands of pounds today, from the late 1800s to around the 1930s, some of those earliest designs. Wherein featured ladies wearing tortoiseshell combs that influenced fashion and paved the way for elaborate Art Deco designs of the 1920s and 1930s that are amongst the top selling items on eBay today, carmen, combs developed popularity from Bizet's opera. Had a major impact on designs of clothing and accessories, like films and television today, the Victorians tended to emulate ladies in stage shows and operas which.

Recent highest eBay prices include:

24.59 * 'Antique 1800s Stunning Celluloid Green Jewels Hair Comb' that fetched the equivalent of £

I'd need to do an Advanced Search to be sure, i'm not sure if 'Antique' is a word frequently used to search for collectable combs. Which both items clearly are; the term describes items aged 100 years plus, arguably the word 'Antique' is also wasting space in both listings. Namely the word 'stunning' is superfluous and the comma in 1800's need not be there, you'll see two areas of wasted space here.

Especially for a potentially valuable item, anyone selling combs should check completed listings via eBay's Advance Search facility. Among other things, material or colour of the comb, if not it's wasting space that could have mentioned the maker, if 'antique' is a frequent search term it is rightly placed in those listings.

I particularly chose combs as one of the entries for this article due to a really wonderful selection of guides I found authored by an eBay seller specialising in vintage combs.

Usually ornate and sometimes studded with gemstones and diamonds or hand painted and tipped with gold, had several combs, not just women of means, the thing I really like about combs is that about one hundred years ago virtually every female.

And most people sell all in one go at auction or to local traders at flea markets and collector's fairs. Usually because the original owner has died or they've been handed down through the family until someone decides to sell them, they often appear in bulk. Offline auctions, collectors' fairs, and combs are amongst the most prolific exhibits at flea markets, means a great many remaining now, so many combs existing then.
