Steel Hands
There's currently an exhibition in the Brisbane Town Hall's Brisbane Museum about the history of Beauty Paegents in Australia.
These aparatus were on display and I just had to photograph them.
I returned to this display today and I'm afraid I've led you all astray, this is a display of hand splints used by the Spastic Assoc. to prevent contracted fingers from digging in to people's palms and causing pain. The Miss Australia Quest for many years (at least from the 50's onwards) raised money for the Spastic Assoc. to help people with various diseases and conditions.
