Need help dating hosiery

Bumping for you - hopefully someone who knows about stockings will be along.
 
Hi Krissy,

I wonder if you have you made any progress?
I'm no expert, though I have noticed somewhat similar styles in Victorian eras. Search on Vintage Dancers site for "Victorian Stockings " thought that the "Richelieu Boot Top Hose" advert seemed to describe a very similar stocking, circa 1901. "Coloured top, ribbed, tipped heel and toe". Also you could try the members of the stockingshq Forum and ask on the "Discussion" forum in there. Some real stockings expert historians lurking there!
I should add a note that it's an active daily stocking wearing forum and some of the forums show ladies (and gents!) showing stocking tops!
