This unique item came with a set of WW1 uniforms, long underwear (Selling separately soon). I researched and could find anything on it. It was patented  Nov. 1897. It has a smaller piece with a slot and button, the label on it says "Patent applied for". They are both in excellent clean condition. I am not sure if it is some kind of early jock strap for the military. 
It is an odd thing, the top is too small to fit around a neck, so what it fits around is your guess. It is 13" end to end across the top. and 12" long. It has one tiny moth hole in the bib part. The other piece is about 6" long with a button at top.


Also, Please feel free to ask questions before you buy.
