[Black Power] . 1970's Moulded "Fist" Afro Pick with Cutaway Peace Sign. Vintage afro comb, the handle moulded into the shape of a Black Power fist, and with a cutaway peace sign above the metal teeth. Patent no. 238821. Some light wear to the plastic; overall fine. 3 x 7 inches (7.5 x 17 cm).
The afro pick became a symbol of counterculture and the struggle for civil rights during the 1970's, and picks with a handle in the shape of a fist were quite popular. A recent sculpture titled All Power to All People by Hank Willis Thomas, installed outside near Philadelphia's City Hall, turns the black power fist pick into a 12-foot monument.
