4 Coil Haut ton

4 Coils covered dark ecru cotton with a small pad at the back of the waist; secured by a belt around the waist which fastened in the front with a 2 pronged buckle, adjustable to 26.” Called a “haut ton” which means “of the aristocracy.” DATE: Circa 1885. (Cotton casing is very discolored, perhaps from residual oil on the metal.)
