Tartalmi összefoglaló angol nyelven
The collection includes garments and textiles which are neither uniforms nor work tools. They are civilian garments that we have used to display the dress of the era in exhibits. Several of these garments were made as advertisements, and some of the textiles were used as home furnishings, such as embroidered tablecloths, bedspreads, wall protectors, or carpets. When post offices and other post office buildings were inaugurated, or when professional exhibitions were officially opened, the cutting of a ribbon in national colours has always been part of the ceremonies. Our collection contains quite a number of these ribbons, signed or stamped to authenticate their origins. The collection is currently made up of 599 items. I am listing them with consecutive numbering, but divided into groups. Within these groups the inventory numbers of the items are in rising consecutive order. The number is followed by the name of the item and a brief description. After this I have included information on when the item was made and who made it. I have only included the sizes of uniforms when I have been certain of them. For other objects, sizes are given in millimetres. The last item given is the inventory number of the artefact.
