Pair of Bakelite Items, Probably Hair Sticks

Description

This listing is for a pair of bakelite items which I believe are hair sticks, but I'm not sure.  Each is about 5 ⅝ inches long and constructed from two pieces.  The top piece is marbled butterscotch bakelite, and the stick is an opaque gold color bakelite.  The stick tapers down to a thin blunt rectangle, not a point, which is why I'm not sure if these are hair sticks.  Both pieces have tested positive with Simichrome.
These are in good condition with normal surface wear, and some wear to the metal rivets.
There is a crack next to the rivet hole on one stick – see close-up, but it is still held together very securely and tightly.
There is a hole through the side of both sticks, and I’m not sure what this was for.
Items are shipped within 2 business days.  There is an ebay glitch causing some of my listings to appear with same day shipping which is incorrect.  Sorry for any confusion.
