Antique Permanent Wave Machine
My friend, Laurie, and I went to an antique show, and I was so excited when we came across this machine! I have never seen one in person, so it was really quite a find for me. What we women go through for beauty! I believe the machine was used until the 1950's when the cold-wave was developed. To achieve curl the clamps attached to rods in the ladies hair, then the machine was turned on and the rods where heated. Crazy huh?!!

I saw these in what I think was a beauty school in Joplin, MO in about 1957. I was trying to describe it to my husband, but there is nothing like a picture to get the idea across. He was amazed.
