As
time went by, I realized how quickly vintage stockings have been disappearing
from our society. All the hosiery stores I knew when I was growing up have
since gone out of business. Hosiery mills closed down or converted to making
other goods. One of the biggest crimes in today's society is that the younger
generation would never be able to truly experience wearing true vintage
stockings. My goal was simple: insure that these treasures would be available
for many, many years to come. If you mention 'Hanes' to anyone under 30
years old, they think of 'underwear' not stockings. Something had to be
done. And fast!
I decided to amass the worlds largest private collection of hosiery. I then
launched my first ecommerce website "Stocking Showcase". You can
visit it now by clicking on the link:
http://www.stockingshowcase.com
Or copy and paste: http://www.stockingshowcase.com in your browser.
There you will find the world's largest selection
of vintage stockings. You will find ALL colors and ALL sizes (up to 13XL)
and a nice selection of textured, fancy foot and rare pink stripe vintage
stockings for sale. You may also find lingerie and nice gift ideas there
as well. I will gladly answer any and all questions you may have about
vintage stockings.
A
very important aspect of my company is to guarantee that the hosiery is
preserved for longetivity. All inventory is stored in a climate controlled
environment. Each individual pair is meticulously inspected for any flaws.
If I find even a microscopic 'pick' (very tiny snag) anywhere on the product,
it will NOT be sold. This extends to the ebay auctions as well (unless
otherwise stated). This is an extremely time consuming process.
Formerly from NEW YORK……………
I
lived in New York for 48 long years. The last place I called home was
in a quiet, country-like town of Pleasantville (about 90 minutes north
of New York City). Here is the view from the rear of the house overlooking
the valley.........
My wife and I had been fed up with the boredom
with our jobs and decided it was time for a change. We pointed the car
south and settled in Florida (just outside Daytona). Centra Florida is
just a bit different from New York:
| NEW YORK has................. |
