Description: | The curry comb has a curved metal head which is semicircular in cross section and enamelled black. There are three rows of teeth on the underside. The handle is of turned wood, and there are two associated paper labels (not attached): one has the handwritten note 'Respect to your precious supply' and is dated 19th March 1949; the other has '033C Special, supplied Mr W Day & Son Peterborough' handwritten on one side and 'From W.H. Tildesley Ltd., Clifford Works, Willenhall' printed on the other. Curry combs are used in the first stage of grooming a horse. They remove mud and loose hair from the body and stimulate the production of natural oils.
