I have the piece you describe above and the 'sewing' item is nothing like it.
VT Country Store still stocks the hair item.
?My 'racket' is definately a sewing/knitting tool of some kind. It came in a
lot of sewing items; also in the lot is a piece (same plastic) that at first
looks like a baby pacifier. It is a 5" stick with small loop at one end and a
disc about the size of a fifty cent coin, is pierced and mounted on the stick.
The other end is slightly like a tweezer, but not manipulative.
Anyone want to guess this one?

Subject: Re: [h-cost] Unidenitified objectI bought something identical to it
from Goody hair accessories back in
the early 80's. It was for doing rolled, 40's style hairdos, and I
believe it was a repro of something from that time. You were supposed
to catch the ends of your hair between the two halves and then roll it
up. I never could make it work properly.
