These Silver Collar Stiffeners are beautifully made. The collar stiffeners are made by a small manufacturer in Sheffield called Francis Howard Ltd, one of the oldest Silverware manufacturers still producing in Sheffield today. They are an extremely popular gift and have been made to be used every day. Each stiffener carries a full English Hallmark, which certifies that the metal used conforms to one of the legal standards of fineness or purity.
