Those aren’t mysterious at all once you see them in context 🙂
They’re vintage hair perm rods (curlers) — the kind used for cold-wave or permanent perms, especially common from the 1940s–1970s.

Why they look so strange

  • Holes along the rod → let the perm solution flow through evenly

  • Curved shape → designed to roll hair smoothly

  • Attached metal/plastic clip → holds the hair tightly in place while processing

  • Large quantity (30+) → a full perm required many rods at once
