Fashion Buckles and Social Rank in 18th Century Britain
The article traces buckles as social signifiers from 1720 fashion, detailing diamond and gold buckles for the rich, silver for merchants, brass or iron for poorer classes, and the shift to shoe ribbons as sumptuary laws faltered. It notes royal and parliamentary debates, and a 18th century trend of imitation among the fashionably ambitious.

Clam Diggers of New Jersey Market Notes
New Jersey clam diggers sort harvests into three classes large medium and small aiming for top prices that can reach as high as 21 cents per clam. Clams are scarce in markets and the trade relies on tides, ice thin winters, and skilled divers who work with forks and nets to harvest from flats and sell in southern markets.
