Picked up this dynamitedly designed, 1920's art deco box for Berkshire Stockings a few weeks back and added it to the collection (yes, I also collect old stocking boxes!) Someone unfortunately scribbled on the lid cover, but that still doesn't detract from the beautiful illustration, color combos, and lovely brand logo lettering. There's a neat illustration inside the lid as well of the sprawling Berkshire Knitting Mills factory location in Reading, PA. If that ain't enough, the box still contains a nice, crisp sheet of embossed Berkshire Stockings tissue paper which was at one time wrapped around a fresh pair of white, size 9 1/2 stockings. One week to Valentine's Day...
