So, would you sell them together or separately? Dates? Any special keywords that should go in title?

I also found an new, old stock men's union suit I will have to show you later. The package was torn that it came in and it had some storage spots. Am washing now.
 
This style of stocking (seamed opaque, flesh coloured rayon) hasn't been fashionably worn since the depths of World War II however I believe they continued to make them for years as old ladies bought them (hides varicose veins) and they were also worn in winter for skating, or under slacks for warmth. I would sell them as wartime 1940s, but they might be newer.
