Norsewear staff members Sarena Montgomerie (L) and Amy Domper (R) holding one of the socks.
A rare piece of New Zealand history will go on display at next month's Fieldays.
The Norsewear Farm Fleck style socks were worn by Sir Edmund Hillary on various expeditions and have graced posters and magazine covers.
The pair have been in Hillary family's private collection but were loaned to makers Norsewear and will go on display at the Southern Hemisphere's largest agricultural event.
