Here is a lot of promotional tees from "Real Silk Hosier Mills" in Indianapolis, Indiana. The flat folded cardboard tee holder contains 2 red and 3 yellow wooden tees. The holder itself is printed with the company information and appears to have some water damage.
The larger box, however, is pristine! The six original red tees are unused and the box itself is in beautiful condition with a unique diagonal wrap-around flap. The box is also printed with the company's promotional information.
The Real Silk Hosiery Mills Company was a successful company based out of in Indiana in the early 1900's. After spreading into the surrounding states, it weathered the Great Depression and was involved in manufacturing the parachutes for bombs and hosiery for military personnel in World War II.
The tees in this lot are shown bottom left of the group image.
