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.

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.

These replica pocket watches are not recommended if you want anything other than very approximate timekeeping. They are really best regarded as props although they do work. Some even have second hands (which tend to fall off...)
They do however do come complete with watch chains and are delightfully well detailed pieces. All open and some are half hunters which means you can get a rough idea of the time without needing to spring the front open.
They come in several different styles and make great Steam Punk accessories.
These watches vary from one batch to another so we cannot guarantee that the image shown is exactly what you will get but the colourway is fairly reliable.
Please note that we cannot send these watches to USA and Canada as they get held up in customs!
Please do not buy them if you expect to receive an accurate timepiece.

Not recommended for beginners as these are serious bow ties which are made according to neck size and cannot be adjusted. This gives them the advantage of no unsightly adjusting buckle, so they are perfect for wearing with wing collars.
However, there is the disadvantage of being even more tricky to tie, but well worth the effort if you can manage it.
Made in England from 100% silk barathea
The height of the wing is 2½in and length when tied is 4½in.
Buy them according to your collar size. If wearing a separate collar which is ½in larger than the neckband, buy the larger size.
Sizes: 15in to 19in.
