I'm so old I Remember when:

No, by the time you were born those instruments of torture were obsolete. Except possibly in a Victoria's catalog.

No they weren't. My mom just never used or bought them

Blessed woman.

OH!

We always called those "tights". Thank you for enlightening me, again !

Now tights might be a little different, thicker.
These were stockings, very sheer. (But if your not familiar with stockings that may be a circular description.)
In the 40's silk and nylon used for stockings became very rare because the material was used for parachutes.
Also (im told) the stockings back then had a seam sewn up the back. If you couldn't get stockings sometimes you could draw a line up the back of your calf.

I need to find some where that the Duke Boys are being ReRun. I remember them so well along with that sleazy Boss Hogg.

I'm so old I remember when DDT, Tobacco Dust, and Arsenic were used as insecticides.
