I actually found this brass whatchamadoodle when I was going through the costume jewelry box that I inherited from my grandmother. Its black felt with brass tack vintage flowers and other things in it. ?? I don't know ... whatever it is or was it was in my grandmothers stuff along with all of her costume jewelry. Since it appeared to be broken I thought it would be fun to play around with it and turn it into something and so I did. I will probably make more "similar" hair combs in the future since I like the style so much... but this is the original. I took her felt brass flower thing and attached it to a clear comb and added feathers and sandwiched the comb with another piece of black felt. It's something else! This is a one of a kind item. I can't make anymore even though I want to!
