Boning
Listed for sale in February 2000 at http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=257288501
This is a collection of odd corset boning and dress stays dating from the middle of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. There is some steel, feather boning (I think), polyester boning, and most importantly, a good quantity of 19th century baleen (whalebone) bones from a corset.
