Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

College tweezers from Huck's red toolbox used on the set of Scandal. The college tweezers, or cotton pliers, are made of a silver-colored metal. At one end is a flat handle with a rounded bottom edge. The handle splits apart into two prongs. Each prong has grooved lines on the side for gripping. One prong has a small hole above the grooves and the other has a tiny spike, or alignment pin. When the tweezers are closed, the spike fits into the hole. Each prong tapers past the grip lines, with a sharp bend just before the pointed tips. There are serrated horizontal teeth on the interior of the points.
