Description

[Samuel Clemens] Mark Twain: Group of Semi-Soft Collars in Original Box. Group of nine 18" long white one-piece detachable collars marketed under the Mark Twain brand. In the early 20th Century, detachable shirt collars were common apparel, allowing the wearer to wash just the collar instead of the whole shirt. Produced by Hall, Hartwell & Co., these collars were advertised to not crush or gape. Usually sold in a box of 6, this group includes original wax and paper sleeves (10), and original 10 1/2" x 3 3/4" box.

Condition: Appear to be unused with minor age related toning and some minor marks to a few. Moderate wear to sleeves with multiple tears from being handled. Box also has moderate wear throughout with dampstaining, soiling, and edgewear.
