I'm thinking of having my "regular" dress shirts taken to the tailor to be refitted for cufflinks. (Shouldn't be too hard -- kill the wrist button, and do in a button hole where it used to be.)

Ah, the Single Link Cuff, mostly seen with Formal (White Tie) but occasionally seen with business wear.

Bought these quite cheaply as a lot recently mainly for spares for cufflink repairing/making, the box itself looked ok and there appeared to be a few decent bits in there...so what did I get?

mixed lot of shirt studs etc

some celluloid? collar stiffeners

the rest mixed lot of single links and a couple of useable pairs of links etc

Five pairs of old cufflinks mainly 1960's -70's I think but all in pretty decent and certainly wearable condition, I got them last week from a charity shop at a pound a pair.....the lighting in the shop was quite poor and it was only later I realised that the chrome plated/enamelled pair were in fact Sterling silver, also a pair of 'Mulberry' in there too.

I purchased these earlier this week for not very much at all (and I got a discount on them!). They look pretty old. I guess they're Mother of Pearl or something.




My guess is that there isn't anything especially incredible about them, but they do look nice.

That's pretty much my thoughts about cufflinks Shangas, it's ok having gold and or silver but in reality it's dead easy to loose one.....inexpensive and nice floats my boat, nice find BTW a quick run over with a polishing cloth should see those gleaming.

They're not gold. I don't see any hallmarks anywhere. They're probably brass. A buff-up and a treatment with Brasso ought to do the trick. Temporarily, at least. It may not even be worth doing it.

My aunt got these from a thrift store about 20 years ago and gave them to me when I was in Photography school:


I'm not sure if they are very old, but I wear them and love 'em.

I am not a great fan of torpedo backs, but I like the way those have been done. There is a certain elegance about them.

Here's a pair of 'St George' cufflinks I found yesterday at the local bootsale;

1910s(?) Cufflinks

Same pair, different backgrounds. The color is incredible in person. Such a wide spectrum... very versatile.

I love cufflinks. Have a number from my granddad, father and purchased myself. Problem is finding French cuff shirts to wear them with. Have to do vintage or made to order

Not, I think, keepers (not quite my thing) but interesting nonetheless - matched set of torpedo-back cufflinks and "nippy-clip" type tieclip in an eagle design. 1950s, possibly, and I assume US-made. A definite whiff of Madison Avenue about them, I think!

some recent acquisitions... wore the circular cuff links to a recent wedding. I wear that fly tie clip often times while working.
