I found these at Venice Antiques. The price tag said "Wool Carding Combs $12.50" on one side and "Wool Carding Combs $5.50" on the other side. They gave them to me for $5.50.
They are old and I don't know weather they will work or not, but carding combs are usually over $20.00.

Hunter had
Hannah V. and Hannah K. and I over to teach us how to make lattice top pies.

At The Seaside

When I was down beside the sea
A wooden spade they gave to me
To dig the sandy shore,
My holes were empty like a cup,
In every hole the sea came up,
Till it could come no more.

-Robert Louis Stevenson
