These are antique cotton stockings from the early 1900s. Two pair, both jet black, as follows:

1. thinner/shearer, backseam, longer, larger, with small run near top (where the garter would go) of one leg. We'd recommend clear nail polish, Fray-Chek, or similar to prevent it spreading. Please judge length and size based on the information and photos provided for the other pair.

2. thicker/more opaque, seamless, smaller, perfect condition. Note that these are the pair shown on a human leg in the photos. Fits very well on a women's US size 7 foot (model is 5'5", with not particularly long or slim legs). Note that these are plenty roomy and would fit larger feet easily, probably up to about a US women's size 9 or so. They'd likely be too large on someone with a very small foot, although you could fold up the excess.

I can't read the label information on either pair. Measurements are shown in combo photo showing foot length and total length. Again, note that the "small" stockings, which are the ones in perfect condition, measure 8.5" long from toe to heel, lying flat, but are plenty big and roomy on a standard US women's size 7 foot, so they aren't tiny. 

Fully fashioned, so the feet are "shaped to fit."

*** These antique stockings were deaccessioned from, and proceeds will benefit, the University of Georgia's Historic Clothing and Textile Collection.***

The stockings have been thoroughly washed. They are clean and ready to wear.
