A collar stay perforating device for perforating a portion of a collar
stay and a collar stay storage device for storing the perforated collar
stay are provided. The collar stay perforating device comprises a base
member having a punch hole and a guide to receive an end of a collar
stay. A first lever member pivotally attached to the base member has a
punch member that cooperates with the punch hole. A second lever member
pivotally attached to the base member bears on the first lever member to
bring the punch member into cooperation with the punch hole thereby
perforating the collar stay. The perforated collar stay may then be
stored on a collar stay storage device comprising an openable ring member
having releaseably engageable arms for forming a closed loop. The ring is
openable permitting one of the arms to be inserted through the perforated
collar stay thereby providing ordered and compact storage of collar
stays.
