Old-school metal curling iron measuring about 9.75 inches long. It’s made of steel with a rubber-covered handle, likely used in the early to mid-1900s when these were heated on a stove or flame. The tongs open and close smoothly, and it’s got that worn-in, honest look from age and use.

There’s no maker’s mark that I can see. The metal shows light surface wear and a bit of patina, which adds to its charm. It would make a great display piece, conversation starter, or a decor item for a vintage vanity, barber shop, or salon space.
