Author	Topic: Another WHATZIT
Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 08-04-2002 11:23 AM We thought it was time for another whatzit. Although made by different manufacturers, the following two items are used together. The top item is by Dominick and Haff and the lower is by Whiting Mfg. Co. So, what are they? IP: Logged

Paul Lemieux Posts: 1792 Registered: Apr 2000	posted 08-07-2002 06:07 PM Is this a portable curling iron & heater, since it looks like everything folds up? The curling iron seems to be in Whiting's Louis XV pattern--I think the pattern's interesting because besides flatware, they also made all kinds of other accessories (I have had a walking stick handle, button hook, toothpick holder, match safe, and a few other things I now forget). I think it's the only pattern I've seen used on so many non-flatware pieces. p.s. keep those whatzits coming. [This message has been edited by Paul Lemieux (edited 08-07-2002).] IP: Logged
FredZ Posts: 1070 Registered: Jun 99	posted 08-07-2002 08:35 PM Scott, Thanks for the rest of the images. It appears the wick is flat to give heat to a great surface area. I love these what's its. Keep them going. IP: Logged
jersey Posts: 1203 Registered: Feb 2005	posted 05-29-2005 06:47 PM Hi Scott! FWIW. In my book "Jewelry, Watches and Silverware" E.V. Roddin & Co. 1895 (Chicago, Ill) Illustrated Catalog and Historical Introduction 1971 by the Pyne Press First Edition, it describes this type of item (in silverplate..no maker) as a Hair Crimping Set. Happy Holiday, Stay Safe. Jersey IP: Logged
