Up for auction a charming hand crafted  fun felt Vintage Christmas Stocking.  It features Mr. and Mrs. Claus at home at the north pole.  There is just so much detail with all the sequine beads.    It is just adorable!
At the top it reads "Amanda".  This name is just stitched on to the stocking and can be easily removed.  You can add another name in stitching or add a name with a glitter glue pen.

Included in this listing is a picture of the kit which I have located which is shown for reference only as this stocking does not come with a kit.
This  was a hand crafted model to a  kit which would have been on display in a store to show the prospective buyers how the item will look when finished. It has a label indicating it was done in the Azores.
I learned recently that the name on many of these finished pieces identified the company as JCA Inc. with an address in Massachusettes. They evidently ceased operations and will not be making/distributing anymore needlecraft kits. These finished piece from kits are already hard to find and will only be offered occasionally perhaps on the internet. Per the JCA website:
"Due to the death of our owner, Alan S. Getz, JCA, Inc. has ceased operations indefinitely.
We would like to thank our loyal customers who have supported JCA for over 50 years.
JCA manufactures premium needlecraft products and distributes fine knitting yarns. We are an amalgamation of three companies-Paternayan Brothers (started in 1939), Elsa Williams (started in 1960) and Reynolds Yarns (also started in 1960)."
