Featured Collar studs?

What are theses tiny things? 5/16ths of an inch in diameter. Black and white enamel on metal. No marks with the exception of a circle and a diamond impression on the "wings" of the stud. Found in a box of my Dad's old tie tacks and pins. Any info welcome.

 

Hi Wendy,
They look like shirt studs.

Ah, thanks, Greg! Two is not enough, eh?

 

if ya wanna show off yer hairy chest......it may be..

 

not to suggest that you personally have a hairy chest.......just in general...

 

I beg to differ - I believe them to be cufflinks, with the back being what is called a "double stirrup".
There may have been matching studs, but I bet they had regular shirt stud backings.
But I could be wrong - don't think I am mind you, but I could be.

 

OMG! Those are Wendy's you know..................

 

Shirt studs in my book. Pa had a complete set.

 

Hi Messi,
At that size they would fall out of the cuff holes. Having 10 sets of shirt studs and over 100 cuff links as well as 7 tuxs, I have never seen a cuff link of 5/16ths at least not for my cuffs. Ladies may have had smaller cuffs but these are guys studs

Just to confirm...too small for cufflinks and I do not have a hairy chest!

 

Good day! I found the same "tiny things" with additional "things" that look like tie-holders for the collar? Maybe you can help me? And if yes, for what collar would these be made?

 

are there any markings on the metal ware..?

I believe the collar type would be called button down

 

Button-downs came first to my mind as well, but I couldn't find any detachable starched button-down collars. But good find! At least we can be a bit more sure about the single-pieces use.

 

EIGHT years ago ?

 

During Pridemonth?

Jokes aside – indeed eight years ago. Lovely to build on an older question. May more insights be gained!
