This hairstyle is based on the Gibson girl look that was popular in the early 1900's. The tooled copper represents a design that would be found on a coal cook stove of that time period. Women spent much of their days cooking and tending the fire in these temperamental appliances. ACME is a brand of stove that Sears & Roebuck sold.
