Description from the Journal of the Franklin Institute, V5 1830 pg. 22.
For an improvement in the Manufacturing of Gentlemen Stocks; G. R. Lillibridge, New York, October 10.
The foundation, or stiffening part of this stock, is formed of two pieces, joined together lengthwise, say of doubled buckram. They are to be so joined that they move on each other, as on a hinge, and are hence called "Hinge Stocks." When thus formed, they are to be covered and lined in the usual way. The buckram may be rendered water-proof, by shellac varnish. The claim is to " the composition, and manner of forming the hinge, by which the two component parts of the foundation of the stock are united together, by which the same is rendered sufficiently pliable, without the possibility of becoming displaced by ordinary wear."
