It was an Accessory to a Common Grooming Tool, But It’s Now Nothing More Than an Antique Relic
It used to be an attachment for a common grooming tool, but now it’s just an old piece of junk.
The chance to find something new when you move into an old house is one of the best parts. There are lots of cool things that people have found hidden in their walls, basements, attics, and floors. In a house that was 100 years old, an odd old artefact was found. It’s an old marble razor blade sharpener that doesn’t look anything like what you might think it would.
Not Sure About a Toy
The old item has been confused for “Clackers” because it looks like a popular children’s toy from the 1960s and 1970s. As a result, many people have different ideas about where the strange item came from. The clackers, on the other hand, were made from string and plastic balls made of acrylic. The old artefact, on the other hand, is made up of two glass marbles with a steel stick and a wooden or metal base.
What does the old razor blade sharpener do, then? From the name you can tell, it was used to help sharpen razor blades in the 1930s. It looks like not much is known about the ancient artifact’s past, but its intricate design shows how well things were made by hand back then. A beautiful reflection of things we don’t see as often as we used to.
