>Probably ... brass?

I would think. I don't think even a very rich person would have a precious metal because they were more like underwear- not at all meant to be seen. So I am not sure what the "common" metal would be at that time, but whatever that is, I think that would be it!

Also 1920's is a bad era to reseach online because there is a lot of mis information and "halloween" type costume stuff out there.

Because I am not a re-creator, I tend to try to look at original photographs of real people, but I don't have a lot of knowledge on materials used.

Thank you for looking, Sophia! I haven't been finding much either, but I also don't really have to mention the adjusters. I just need to give the impression that this guy, in these clothes, is not the sort who usually joins a carnival.

I am about to email an offer to a potential caregiver/household manager person. I am so fearful that they will not accept that I have taken all day to do this. I need someone to start this coming week.

ok - cross all fingers and toes people.

they will accept, msbelle!

Everything crossed!

Acceptance~ma, msbelle.

fingers and toes crossed, msbelle!

My kids did their homework on the bus, two days in a row now. Not sure how long this love of school will last, but I'm gonna enjoy it while I can.

Either that's a long bus ride, or your kids have less homework than mine!

Not a long bus ride (about 30 minutes) but also not much homework yet, only math. It'll increase next week I suspect to include some language arts.
