I think they could sell for at least $7 to $12 each on eBay. Hard to tell. You can find out by putting up auctions. The packaging counts, very valuable to collectors. You might want to sell them in larger quantities and show photos of the packaging. I have about 400 pair of the slinky 15 denier stockings by Kayser and at least 50 pair of stretch, from a family store going out of business. I need to sell them, and the supply of vintage stockings is definitely shrinking, based on what I can find to buy out on the web. For example, the supply at Stocking Showcase has diminished compared to two years ago. Good luck! AV ardensfca@comcast.net To Paul:

Wondering if this is a known stocking repair tool or if it was just something my Father had adapted for this use. It resembles a very small rug hook. If you can supply any information about stocking repair and tools during this time period, I would appreciate it.

In my research, I had the feeling that the two names were different things, such as Miss Chemistry was perhaps the grande official announcement and Miss Nylon was in effect several models who 'worked' the booth/display at the fair. Or vica-versa. I suspect the only way to know for certain would be to research the archive materials at the Hagley Museum and Library. (I did ask via the phone, but the attendant wasn't clear either, so actual research would likely be required.) If either were my grandma, I'd sure contact them and see what they can find out! And I'd love to see the photo! Hi Ben,

Such an interesting piece of history. (that Brubaker blog trackback above is mine...) My Grandmother, Kaye Brubaker, according to her obituary was "Miss Nylon" at the 1939 World's Fair in New York. Anyone know if that is a different role than the "Miss Chemistry" mentioned above, or if the names were interchangeable...? (I don't believe that is her in any of the photos above, but I suppose several models shared the duties...) In, the photo I have of her in the role, she wears an evening gown (not showing much leg at all), so perhaps it was a different role... Great to find this post! Such an interesting piece of history.

Many would put them on right out in public, it made for a great viewing for a young boy. Now that Iam 59 yoa, I still love to see real women wearing stockings and appreciate the empowerment it gives them. Keep up the great work on the website, love hear back from you. Regards, Steve N.
