Featured Brophey sock garters

Found these never-worn men’s sock garters today. I don’t know much about these, but the maker Brophey appears to have been an umbrella manufacturer in Montreal, Canada. They looks like they date to the 1920’s or 30’s, and I’d be interested to know if you agree.

 

at one time our menswear sector was 2nd to none ..!

 

True! And, I didn’t realize you were from Montreal. Cool!

 

We do OK !!!

 

The Brophey Umbrella & Suspender Company. Ltd., 63 Wellington Street West, Toronto. Incorporated 1907. They seem to have been in business in the 1920s and 1930s.

Thank you! Looks like what I read about Brophey being located in Montreal was wrong. Toronto’s good, too, though.

 

Grrrrrrrr....
