Northern Collar
The northern collar is comprised of an unmarked flat black metal which is
riveted with a hammer about the neck of a slave:
"Look up at me," said the smith. The slender, blond girl, tears in her eyes,
looked up at him. He opened the hinged collar of black iron, about a half
inch in height. He put it about her throat. It also contained a welded ring,
suitable for the attachment of a chain. "Put your head beside the anvil," he
said. He took her hair, and threw it forward, and thrust her neck against
the left side of the anvil. Over the anvil lay the joining ends of the two
pieces of the collar. The inside of the collar was separated by a quarter of
an inch from her neck. I saw the fine hairs on the back of her neck. On one
part of the collar are two, small, flat, thick rings. On the other is a single
such ring. These rings, when the wings of the collar are joined, are
aligned, those on one wing on top and bottom, that on the other in the
center. They fit closely together, one on top of the other. The holes in each,
about three-eighths of an inch in diameter, too, of course, are perfectly
aligned. The smith, with his thumbs, forcibly, pushed a metal rivet through
the three holes.” (John Norman, Marauders of Gor, 1975)
Plank Collar
A plank collar consists of a heavy wooden plank which is split lengthwise, with
each half containing five semicircular openings. When the two halves are
joined, they form wooden stocks for holding five slaves. The assembled plank is
then chained down wherever needed:
"The primary holding arrangement for women on the benches, however,
[is] not chains. Each place on the bench is fitted with ankle and wrist
stocks, and for each bench there is a plank collar, a plank which opens
horizontally, each half of which contains five matching, semicircular
openings, which, when it is set on pinions, closed, and chained in place,
provides thusly five sturdy, wooden enclosures for the small, lovely throats
of women. The plank is thick and thus the girl's chins are held high. The
plank is further reinforced between each girl with a narrowly curved iron
band, the open ends of which are pierced; this is slid tight in its slots, in its
metal retainers, about the boards, and secured in place with a four-inch
