Still got 1,2,5 and 9

Re: Friday Fun Quiz - Revisited
 

1)

1912: Garment maker Otto Titzling is said to have develop a bra for buxom singer Swanhilda Olafsen. Swanhilda lived in the same New York boarding house as Otto, and needed a supporting garment. She was the inspiration for Otto's breakthrough design, but Otto neglected to patent his creation, and therefore lost his chance to be the inventor of the bra.

1913: The first modern bra to be patented was a silk hanky and pink ribbon affair created by New York socialite Mary Phelps Jacob. Mary had bought a sheer evening dress to wear to an event, and at the time, the only undergarment available to her was a corset made with whaleback bones. Mary found that the bones showed through the sheer fabric and created her DIY alternative.

9) Hilary Clinton?

Re: Friday Fun Quiz - Revisited
 

Evidently people often attribute Mr Titzling (is the name a coincidence????) but the first patent was registered in the late 1800s.

Re: Friday Fun Quiz - Revisited
 

Isn't anyone going to guess at 5?

Re: Friday Fun Quiz - Revisited
 

hmmm if you go to enough websites, it seems everyone invented the bra :)

1914 Polly Jacobs takes out a patent for the first bra. The purported inventor of the bra, Otto Titzling, never took out a patent, and most discount his claims. The same is true for Philippe de Brassiere.
Olga Erteszek, however, held 28 bra patents. Ida (Maidenform) Rosenthal later added such refinements as sized cups. Prior to the invention of the bra, women were squeezed into corsets which, when tightened to stylish thinness,constricted their organs and caused serious illnesses. If they were large-breasted, women strapped their breasts down using bindings. Marie Tuceks did patent a †œbreast supporterââ‚ ¬ÂÂ� in 1893, but it didnâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t take off.
