Found this at a yard sale today. Marked as an Ormond. 1930s? I also picked up a dozen 1940s neckties that I'll display later....they need pressed. I love days like this!

Nice! I'll say it again, it just amazes me at how many tie designs there must have been. I usually have my limit on how much I'll pay for ties, but I'd probably have made an exception and paid five bucks for the one on the right.
Yes, I do agree on some. I do see many that are post-war, but ones like first-photo-third-from-left just seem earlier than that. How do I describe it....bold pattern, two-color. The material seems thinner, too.
Very nice! How much did they cost? Most seem early-40s to me. I think I've seen the one - 2nd photo, 4th from left - in Fit to be Tied. I'll have to dig my copy out...
This 1950 Packard was parked down the block from me this weekend. I always carry a carry a camera with me when walking the dog so I got this. It was a dark cherry color.

Okay, but as soon as I'd break the record you'd up me by one to get your name in the book. Then I'd have to beat you..etc, etc, etc. It could turn into a nasty war..... ;)
I've always wanted to....just for fun...pre-tie all of mine and put as many as I could around my neck and then tie as many as I could on the rest of me...of course, get a photo...and then submit it to Guiness as the man wearing the most neckties at one time.... :D
