Upper half of stockings,toes, and bottom of feet are of cotton and rest is of silk. Full length seam up back of stockings, and full length seam on bottom of foot. There is a hole in both heels, several small 'thin spots' in the stockings and a small 'run', but although fragile, these colorful early stockings are very displayable and great examples for a collection. Drawers are14 inches long from bottom of waistband. Legs of drawers are edged with one inch wide lace.
Condition is very good.
A small pair of children's stockings that may be of a wool-cotton mix, as they feel too rough to be of all cotton. A small triangle at the heel and a small circle at the toe are of light beige silk. Stockings measure 9 inches long from bottom of heel to top. Foot is 4 inches long. There are several small holes near one toe and each stocking has a horizontal mend across the very top in front.
