Description
Civil War Wool Socks
A scarce and highly desirable pair of Civil War period wool socks, exhibiting classic hand-knit construction consistent with mid-19th century military issue or home-front production. Crafted from natural wool yarn, these socks display the characteristic ribbed cuff and shaped heel, with a soft, well-worn patina that speaks to age and authenticity.
The neutral, undyed tone is typical of period examples, and the overall form remains strong, with only expected signs of use and age. Such items were essential to the soldier’s daily life, often supplied by family members or aid societies, making surviving examples increasingly difficult to locate.
A wonderful and evocative textile artifact, ideal for display alongside uniforms or personal effects.
