Revell was my grandfather,of McCallum Hosiery.I found it interesting to find an ad from his business in your "All American Ads of the 20s". Are there any more?; 10:57 PM

They are stamped by the machine that stamped the McCallum logo with the monogram. I found the article stating Elias Claydon who actually made them had a special set ordered with her initials during the time of the worlds fair, I purchased from an estate which owned a vintage clothing museum. If you have any advice on how to research, please let me know!!!!! They are amazingly extraordinarily gorgeous even for McCallum with embroidered daffodils up the legs.; 1:47 PM
