It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And what a present this would make under your tree - a 44-inch-long red-mesh stocking from the early 1950s that is unopened and is accompanied by original brochures from Allison's retail outlet. Stocked with toys and novelties from the time period, this item serves as a pristine time capsule from over 60 years ago. Here are some of the priceless contents: a 1952 Cello pack with low-number Johnny Lippon on the front and #310 on the reverse (we've never seen a 1952 cello pack before), a non-sport cello pack power for peace that looks at least 10 cards thick, a couple of Tarzan 3D wax packs, checkerboard, Gingerbread Boy game, Fan-Tell fortuneteller, Giraffe Ring Toss Game, Pinocchio comic book, packages of chalk, puzzles, camera viewers and lots more! Some packs have some wear from being in the stocking so long. This originates from the son of the original 5 & 10 store owner and is in EX condition overall.
