I 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.
Sometimes in simplifying something, they make it unusable. The new modern hair ratts are
what they though they were trying to "simplify"... but you needed very long
hair to use them. I so prefer these kinds of flexible ratts:

You can actually tuck long hair between the elastic and the rat and roll.
Short hair you need to pin into the ratt, AND the ends of the elastic (rolled
against the ratt) help you secure pins. Much better than the hard plastic.
These do '40's do's as well as Gibson girl, Victorian, and anything that needs
a roll instead of forcing just one shape
Note: don't confuse these withe the other modern substitute, standard sponge
rolls. You can't pin on those, you'd be better off w/ the hard plastic.
