We had originally thought that these were collar studs but are delighted to have received the following information from a retired nurse.
"I just thought I would mention they are not actually collar studs but are cuff studs. A lot of the Long sleeve nurses uniforms would have detachable cuffs which were frequently removed and often changed and attached via a pair of studs; the unusual mechanism you mentioned would be for quick changes of them using only one hand."
I did my nurse training in 1970s and well remember these items on some of the more mature seniors nurses uniforms who refused to move forward with more modern uniforms."
Box of 4 individual studs, so two pairs
Made in England. These are original vintage items.

We are very excited to have acquired a number of these original unused watch chains, which work brilliantly with our waistcoats.
They were manufactured by Jakob Bengel, a chain and costume jewellery factory, founded by Jakob Bengel in 1873 in Germany.
Until 1920, the company specialised in the production of watch chains and chatelaines (pendants for pocket watches). In the 1920's and 1930's, it became one of the leading manufactures of fashion jewellery in the Art Deco style.
It was during the Bauhaus and Art Deco period that designers were looking to obtain new materials and inspiration to produce costume jewellery. Inspired by French Avant-Garde and other fashion trendsetters such as Coco Chanel, Bengel started to produce experimental jewellery. The pieces, catalogued from 1924-1939, combined brass and chrome with geometric shapes of coloured galalith.
The watch chains themselves are therefore probably brass or chrome, but being vintage we cannot say this with any certainty. Please note these watch chains come in variations and may have marks or scuffs as they are vintage originals.
Total length approximately 25cm or 10in.
With the exception of colour 21, which is 46cm or 18in in length.

Spats were worn over shoes from late C19th to the early 1920’s.
The main purpose was to protect the upper part of the shoes from spattering with mud. The name therefore derives from ‘spatterdash’ .
These are made in the best quality heavyweight pure wool melton so do not curl irritatingly at the toe.
Please note that the grey are hand dyed which gives them a convincingly vintage look however the edges visibly whiter.
They are exact replicas of originals and have leather straps with nickel buckles.
At present we have only one size which fits a large shoe from British size 9-11.

Rhodium plated Silver armbands (or sleeve garters) for use when your shirt sleeves are too long.
These arm bands are a one off item whilst there are supply issues with the original St. George armbands. They do not have the internal ribbon but are otherwise the same.
These are the original St. George make and each pair is individually boxed making them an ideal small gift.
Our new and improved St. George Armbands now come with an internal ribbon to avoid any snapping but still allowing for lots of stretch.

A while ago we unearthed a small quantity of vintage collar pins.
They sold out so quickly that we decided to have them reproduced and here they are in gold plate. These are designed to be pierced through the points of the collar and are worn under the tie.
They work perfectly with our spearpoint collar shirts and the advantage of the replicas is that the point is really sharp so will not make rusty holes in your collar.

We have combined a set of Collar Studs and our Darcy Collar Stud Puller in one robust box.
There are 4 pairs of Collar Studs - 4 long front studs and 4 short back ones, so a total of 8.
The Stud Puller has been developed to overcome one of life's smaller problems. Anyone who wears stiff collars will be familiar with just how fiddly they can be to attach. Pushing or pulling the Collar Studs through all the buttonholes is an acquired art so we are delighted to be able to offer you this useful aid.
It is made from a special robust plastic which may bend but is not brittle so less likely to break.
The design is based on a Victorian original which we've adapted for modern use.
There is a hole at one end so dressers can have it on a cord round their necks. Perfect when working on crowd scenes. We have also found it works on dress studs and there may even be other uses we've never thought about.
One Stud Puller per box. Makes a perfect gift.
