A lovely original antique detachable shirt collars with leather travel case. The case contains five detachable collars, five are folded. The retailer name R W Forsyth, Glasgow & Edinburgh is stamped in gold onto the inside lid. Born in the Lothians, Forsyth came to Glasgow as a nineteen-year old and gained experience of clothing retailing with several city firms. In 1872 he set up in business as hosier, glover and shirtmaker in Renfield Street. Success led to expansion, and he gradually acquired all the properties around the corner of Renfield Street and Gordon Street. These buildings were demolished and a new department store was built on the site in 1897. A fabulous period piece, perfect to use and enjoy.
