Spanish term or phrase: colas para colocar peines
This is a footnote from a text on Argentina's participation in editions of the International Penitentiary Congress held in the late 19th C. The footnote lists items made by prisoners that Argentina sent an exposition held as part of the congress::

Tres colas para colocar peines

Since it is a list, I can offer no further context.
Thanks

Reference information:
I'd consider using "peineta" in italics, as "comb" is so run-of-the-mill. Otherwise, "hair clasp" might be a better option.
