Here is another . This one has a mystery tab at the back waist. It has what I presume to be channels for the sticks meant to provide shape. It or they may be seen toward the underarm and there are more on either side of the back. Front center waist band has hook and eye. OK, however, the hook faces west and the eye faces south? Very curious. I do not believe this would be slept in.? Any help to identify this time frame or style? I appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks, manikin. Great help.
Your welcome :-)
This actually has value to it !
Should I bring it to a museum?
They probably have some . Many times museums have basements full of stuff that never gets displayed so it is actually not being enjoyed . If you want to part with it there are many Vintage clothes collector's that will know how to preserve it and display it so if mine I would sell to a collector :-)
Your other corset cover you posted is pretty common to find but still has some value but not like the bra .
