Captured at Yorktown, "1030 black stocks." These were neck-stocks, similar to today's neckties in that both are men's accessories tied around the neck over the shirt. Stocks were not, however, shaped or tied the same way neckties are, and were usually made out of simple linen. Black stocks were worn mostly by men in the military.
