<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 43603, member: 111&quot;]Geez, Greg - you were just too cool!&nbsp; Apparently you were thinking you looked just as good as I did with hip-hugger bell-bottoms and an open Indian gauze shirt knotted over one of those silly tube-tops (a sigh at the loss of that youthful flat belly) - but every generation has their questionable fashion choices...</p><p><br /></p><p>As a bartender/penguin, wore all sorts of old studs and cufflinks on my tux shirts, the other bartenders just used the little black plastic ones, or the buttons - sold off most of the studs and links, but still have all my old cummerbunds and bowties (dunno why).</p><p><br /></p><p>Studs weren&#039;t just for formal attire, they also enabled the use of &#039;fancy buttons&#039; on several different garments, as well as the benefit of being removable for laundering and pressing, many were pretty utilitarian in design, and some were also used to fasten detachable collars, cuffs and shirtfronts.</p><p><br /></p><p>For Messi - didn&#039;t find chained sets specifically labeled as for ladies, but the 1896 page below shows some hearts that strike me as quite feminine, the 1898 page shows some small ladies&#039; studs, and also adding some 1897 chained pin sets for ladies and children.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl</p><p><br /></p><p>1896: </p><p>[ATTACH=full]10973[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1898:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]10974[/ATTACH] </p><p>1897:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]10975[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
