Hi Barry
Occupation is definitely BUSK MAKER, he made corsets
"The busk was inserted into a special narrow pocket in the front of the corset, and tied in place with ribbons. Busks generally ran from the breasts to the top of the pubic bone. The busk was supposed to keep the posture straight and upright, as well as helping to keep the breasts elevated and the belly flat. The longest, most extreme, examples must also have made sitting a challenge."
