Vintage 1950s Brass Dress Shirt Studs Screw-Back Tuxedo Formalwear Great Britain

Dress shirt studs with a screw-back mechanism are rarely found complete and in their original box.

A pair of mid-century brass dress shirt studs, made in Great Britain. The face is a small flat brass disc with a concentric-ring detail; the back is a white ribbed plastic screw that fastens through the shirt placket. Both studs are in their original presentation box — the card insert printed with "Dress Stud / Screw Action / Made in Great Britain" in period Gothic type.

The screw-back mechanism was the secure alternative to snap studs, preferred for formal occasions where movement might otherwise dislodge a looser fitting.

These suit a formal dress shirt with a placket front — worn with black tie or white tie. The brass face is small and low-profile, sitting flush with the shirt. Works with a single stud or as part of a set if paired with matching cufflinks.
