Sock Monkey History
A little history behind the socks
According to Wikipedia the creation of the sock monkey dates back between 1910 and the early 1920's, made then from discarded hosiery... although the type and style isn't stated. The earliest documented sock monkey dates back to 1919.The traditional red heeled sock monkey we've come to know and love made it's first appearence in 1932 when the Nelson Knitting Company first started creating red healed socks. By the mid-1950's this sock manufacturer began placing sock monkey instructions with every pair of socks sold. The company eventually acquired a design patent for the sock monkey creation and went on to use the doll in their promotional campaigns. In 1992 the Nelson Knitting Company was acquired by Fox River Mills who still manufactures the socks to this day.
