LONDON — A pair of Queen Victoria’s stockings has sold for $14,300.
The Ruddington Framework Knitters’ Museum in Nottingham placed the high bid for the black-and-white stockings at Wednesday’s auction.
The stockings were sold by Mary Youings of Ripley, who had inherited them from her mother.
She says she doesn’t know how the stockings, which bear the royal crest, came into her family’s possession.
