Tops are ribbed. Separately attached heels are square with a bottom seam, and there is a' faux' seam up the back length of the stockings.
Stockings are in very good condition.
This delightful early tophat box is of pasteboard stitched together with linen thread and covered with a cream colored paper printed with stripes and delicate roses in pinks, maroon, and green. There is no lid. Still inside the box when we obtained it was an early black tophat which fit the box perfectly. Viewed from the front, the hat flares out at the top. The hat is lined with a rich dark blue paper on the sides, and a tartan silk fabric on the inside of the top of the crown.
