One pair of vintage 1950s ribbed ankle length school-type socks. The colour is grey. Fancy patterned top, suitable for girls. Wool/cotton mixture, with nylon reinforced heel and toe. Made by Tresco. Made in England in the 1950s. They were unsold shop stock from the 1950s, and have been in storage at the shop ever since. Size These socks are marked with SOCK sizes - this is based on foot length (in inches), and is NOT the same as shoe sizes.

Please remember that these are very old socks, and they are not as stretchy as modern ones. Condition These socks are unused, and still have the original shop price tags attached from the 1950s. The socks are obviously very old, and have been in storage for over half a century. They might be useful for a theatre or film production, or just for nostalgic interest, but they will obviously not last long in normal use! They will need to be hand-washed before use. The price tags have been attached with metal staples - these have rusted, and they may leave small rust spots when removed. Please see the photographs.
