Pair of Antique 1888 Victorian Wizard Gentlemans cuff holders, Steampunk
$75.00
This is a pair of Antique Victorian Gentlemen's cuff holders. In Victorian times gentlemen used to wear shirts with detachable collars and cuffs. When they got dirty the person would remove and replace them with fresh ones made of stiffened linen or celluloid an early plastic. This way they could appear to be wearing a fresh shirt. The Wizard cuff holders held them in place to the shirt. In the last photo I show a store display that I found a photo of online. These are misidentified by many as card shark tools to hide a card up the sleeve but they are not. Excellent antique condition. Perfect for Steampunk Costumes.
Most of my items come out of estates on Martha's Vineyard and some from other places in New England. The island of Martha's Vineyard where I have lived for the past 18 years is home to many old original families of sea captains and sailors so fascinating things come up when there are estate sales. Please check my other listings. I am putting up a large collection of glassware that I have gotten over the years out of these estates. I try to do a lot of research and give good descriptions but I am not an expert in everything so please ask questions or if you know something about a piece and are willing to add your input into my listings please contact me!
I am happy to combine shipping on multiple items if possible. I will ship internationally but please contact me for the shipping cost before bidding. Paypal payment required within 3 days of auction close. 6.25% sales tax on bidders from Massachusettes. Please check my other new listings over the next couple of days. Returns are welcome if item is not as described, refund for item cost only. I take very detailed photos and give good descriptions. Please see all pics and enlarge to see details. Ask me any questions before bidding.
