[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 347032, member: 2844"]The continuing story of the comb.;) That was easy. I gently put my nail under the silver on one side, and the silver came loose almost immediately. Just a few threads of glue on the other side, a little jerk, and it came off. Thank you man in shed!:happy: [USER=5006]@kyratango[/USER] I included the comb I selected from my box as a replacement in the picture below, same curve as the silver. Original comb on the left: [ATTACH=full]117183[/ATTACH] Turns out there are marks on the back, but I don't recognize them as Mexican. Maker's mark ED: [ATTACH=full]117184[/ATTACH] And a mystery mark, does anyone recognize it? [ATTACH=full]117186[/ATTACH] Same mark: [ATTACH=full]117185[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
