We know American boys wore Etin collars in the 1850s. We see them in Daguerreptype portraits, but as we say we can not definitively date dags to the 1840s or 50s. Ambros are a different matter. Ambros were most taken in the 1850 (1855-59) or vert early-60s. So mbris give us a good idea about 1850s fshions and if we do not see these styles in the CDV recird we can assume they are 1859s records. And we see some good sized Eton collars in the 1850s. We note boys wearing clssic Eton collars with the collar buttoninf military jackets that were popular in the 1850s. They seen similar to the U.S. army jackets worn at the time. The Eton cillar is a boyish addition. We are not sure about sizes, but we notice some very good sized examples. Although it is not always eay to tell from the photographic record, but the detachable collar was was well-established by the 1850s.
