[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 10193775, member: 360"]Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I agree, the end-loop looks like it's designed to hook onto a button. My guess is that some fabric, or a strap (maybe elastic?) was looped underneath, clipped into place, and then stretched and buttoned onto something. Stockings? Shirt-tails? Your guess is as good as mine. I suppose they came in pairs or sets, then, to be added to one's clothing.[/QUOTE]
