Vintage 20's 30's Norwich Knitting Co. Phila. Long Johns Underwear

Description

A PAIR OF VINTAGE 1920's ? GRAY COTTON AND WOOL BLEND, OR WOOL LONG JOHNS UNDERWEAR.  I AM NOT SURE OF THE DECADE THESE WERE MADE AND ALSO NOT SURE OF THE MATERIAL.  I HAD ANOTHER PAIR OF LONG JOHNS THAT LOOKED LIKE THIS PAIR. THEY WERE MARKED 50% COTTON AND 50% WOOL, THESE ARE NOT MARKED. THE UNDERWEAR CLOSES WITH THREE FRONT BUTTONS. THE BACK LACES. THE MAKERS NAME IS STAMPED INSIDE.  THE STAMP IS FADED, IT LOOKS LIKE IT SAYS NORWICH KNITTING CO. PHILA. THE UNDERWEAR IS STAMPED : S 5411 TWICE ON THE FRONT. THERE ARE ALSO SOME BLACK STAMP SMUDGES ON THE INSIDE WAIST.  MEASUREMENTS:  40" WAIST AND 38" IN LENGTH FROM THE WAIST TO THE CUFF. IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH SOME AGE SPOTS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE INNER LACES , AND A COUPLE LIGHT YELLOW SPOTS ON THE INSIDE FRONT COTTON LINING. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS.
