These men’s stockings are the most wonderful find…they have never been used and retain the most beautiful labeling. They are dated to the mid 1920s.
It is that glorious illustrated label that is so unique and wonderful. It is printed on a light cream colored paper in red, black and gold. The toes of the stockings are printed in gold…if you look closely, you will realize that the high sheen of the gold is actually genuine gold as this was indeed used as a pigment during this era…otherwise, imitation metallic gold would have turned much darker in color by now.
Absolutely fabulous…these stockings will make anyone interested in 1920s fashion history smile. They are exceptional.
The stockings appear to be perfect and will be a terrific display item for collectors and curators. They would be wonderful in a frame or on exhibition relating to 1920s menswear. The label is still intact and the stockings are just as they were originally sold during the mid-1920s.
The socks are made of silk. There is no damage whatsoever. The label is brilliant and they are entirely in mint condition, considering age.
