Some 1930s dress shirts. Sorry about the wrinkles; Ben didn't have time to press them out. Note the collar shapes:

The shirt below is very unique. The patent date indicates that it's from 1938. Besides the label's polo player (29 years before Ralph Lauren's), the shirt's back has columns of verticle darts running from the shoulder seams nearly to the bottom of the tail. These darts give the shirt an "hourglass" body shape. Incredible workmanship!
