A quick flick through the "Bucks. Cottage Workers Agency" book, not dated but after 1911 so from the fashions as well, a little earlier than your book, reveals only one Bucks collar. Lots of Beds and Irish crochet(?) and a Bucks neckband - very Edwardian.
The collar is marked as 8/6, 10/-, 12/6 or 15/-. (Does this indicate different quality or other styles?) The prices are also given in dollars $2.10, $2.50, $3.00 or $4.00 *each* (just in case you thought this was for a dozen). Then my question appears to be answered as "Other Point Ground collars are priced from One Guinea up to Ten Guineas each" So, nearly 10 years earlier the starting price is 8shillings and 6pence through the agency, but if lace in 1920 was further out of fashion and the old woman is not working for the agency, maybe her price was lower. Also the collar illustrated, although the cheapest, is quite wide (basic horseshoe shape) so a "little collar" should be less expensive still.
