Cravat pin (Stock buckle)
1750-1800
Description
Most Anglo-American men wore stocks around their necks from roughly 1720 to the end of the eighteenth century. These were made from fine linen, either pleated or gathered into tabs fastened with a removable buckle at the back of the neck. This silver rectangular stock buckle–likely made between 1750 and 1775––fitted onto holes made at the end of the stock. On this stock buckle, the chapes have three small studs which were made to attach to the stock and a set of three connecting tines.
