IMPROVEhMENT IN PAPER COLLARS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 101,855, dated April 12, 1870.

To all whom it may concern.-

Bc it known that I, GUsTAvUs ADoLPHUs GoLDsMrrH, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Collars and Like Articles; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which represents a paper collar made in accordance with my invention.

Paper collars, cuffs, and like articles are usually made either with a smooth finish, or with a finish intended to imitate linen-that is to say, with fine cross-1ines in imitation of the fiber or texture of linen. A paper finished in either of these ways does not resemblea linen collar, however, for the reason that when the latter is ironed its edge or border, and its body differ from each other in appearance, the border having a smooth and highlypolished finish, in which it is difficult to detect the lines 0f thread or fiber, While the body has less luster, and shows plainly the crosslines or the texture of the material of which it is formed, so that, no matter how perfect may bethe finish of a paper collar, so long as it does not present the two different styles of finish which mark a linen collar, the dierence between'the two collars is very apparent; and the same difference is noticeable with respect to paper cuffs and other like articles of wear made of paper, and intended to imitate linen or other fabric.

My invention is designed to remove this difliculty; and to this end it consists of a paper collar or other like article the edge or border of which is made with a smooth and highly-polished finish, to imitate the correspondingly smooth and highly-finished parts of a linen collar or like article, While the body is made with a linen iinish,77 so called, or with cross-lines, to imitate the ber or texture of the corresponding portion of linen article. The paper collar or other like article, in accordance with my invention, may be formed of any material suitable for the purpose, and may be enameled in any manner, and with any enameling composition known or used, as Will be fully understood, without further explanation, by those skilled in the art to which my invention relates.

The dies, rolls, or other means by which the collar or other article is pressed and stamped with the imitation stitching, Ste., may be of any ordinary or suitable construction, being so formed as to give the proper smooth finish and the linen finish to the different portions of the article, as above explained. In short, the process of manufacture of my improved collar differsin no respect from the processes o1"- dinarily in use, the only difference being inthe Vdies or other like means, which are so made as to impress the collar or paper from which it is made with the peculiar finish herein specied. f

In the drawing the smooth and highly-iin` ished border is shown at a, and the linen-finished body at b. The collar represented is a turn-down collar, but it is needless to say that my invention is applicable to any form of co1- lar,- as well as to cuffs and like articles made of paper in imitation of linen or other fabric.

Having now described my invention, What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

As a new article of manufacture, a paper collar or like article made with a smooth or highly-finished border or edge, and a linen or equivalently finished body, substantially as shown and set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification before two subscribing witnesses.

GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS GOLDSMITH.
