1) Hanly of Ireland. made from Extra Fine Merino wool by one of the oldest mills in the Emerald isle. A beautiful tartan in soft pink, baby blue, and cream. Excellent condition. Length: 62; Width: 11 1/2; Fringe: 2 3/4. Asking just $20.







2) Johnstons of Elgin. A beautiful lambswool scarf from one of the premier mills in Scotland, operating since 1797. This is a beautiful, classic tartan with forest greens, dark reds, gorse yellows on a cream base. Made in Scotland. Excellent condition. Length: 59; Wide: 8 1/2; fringe: 2 1/2. Asking just $19.







3) BEAUTIFUL classic silk paisley scarf, backed with dark red wool. This is absolutely wonderful! It does have a very small sunfade on one edge near the hem, as shown--this can't be seen when worn--and a small area of residue from a price label. This is in very Good/Excellent condition, and is a bargain at just $24! length: 52; Width: 11; Fringe 1.

5) VINTAGE red plaid scarf by CISCO of New York. All wool, Made in "The Argentine"! Despite its name, this has nothing to do with the present Cisco of New York. Instead, THIS Cisco was founded in 1919 on Broadway, as a specialist store focusing on neckwear--ties, scarves, and mufflers. In 1958 they filed for a patent with a new invention--a vest-muffler combination, where the muffler descends on both sides of the wearer's body into large flat pieces of cloth that could be buttoned together to form a vest. The fact that you haven't heard of this shows how successful this invention was. This scarf is in Very Good condition. Length: 50; Width: 12; Fringe: 1. Asking just $12.

6) BEAUTIFUL Autumnal Bracken and Cream scarf from B. Altman of New York. B. Altman's was one of THE great New York department stores. It was the first to move to Fifth Avenue, which at the time was primarily residential, designing its palatial four-story building to fit in with the surrounding mansions--it was directly opposite the mansion of the socialite Mrs. Astor (of the Astor family), and, unlike her mansion (which was demolished to make way for the Empire State Building) Altman's store still stands... although now as part of CUNY rather than as a store in its own right. It was designated a New York City landmark in 1985.

In its day Altman's was one of the most exclusive department stores in the city--and this scarf shows that its upscale reputation was fully justified. Made in France, this is likely lambswool--and it is incredibly soft! Length: 69: Width: 11 1/2; Fringe: 1. Asking just $20. Excellent condition.







7) Made in Italy... for GAP! This is a lovely light green and cream wool tartan scarf. It does have a very small snag hole, as shown, hence is just in Very Good condition. Lovely and soft! Asking just $15. Length: 61; Width: 10 1/4; Fringe: 2 1/2.










8) BEAUTIFUL vintage mohair scarf in orange sherbert and cream! Absolutely lovely--and a very rare longer size. Length: 69; Width: 9; Fringe: 1. Excellent condition. Asking just $22.







9) GORGEOUS Brooks Brothers luxury cashmere scarf! This is absolutely wonderful! The cashmere that this scarf is cut from is incredibly soft and luxurious; this is clearly the top of the line for Brooks. Made in Scotland. It's very generously sized at length: 60; Width: 12; Fringe 2 1/4, and it's in excellent condition. It does have a monogram applied. PLEASE NOTE that the correct color of this scarf is a classic dark red; this can be seen in the main label picture. It is NOT a purple toned scarf! Asking just $25, or offer.

18) EXTREMELY RARE! SIlk multi-panel scarf from Pazuki of London. Pazuki is a very exclusive and luxurious scarf-maker based in London, with its retail outlets being limited to places such as Fortnum and Mason and the designer Maggie Owen. They specialize in distinctive and unusual scarves, which are apparently immediately recognizable by persons familiar with British luxury designers. While many of their scarves are single-patterned, occasionally they release multi-panel scarves, such as this one... and these can become collectible.

This scarf is a wonderful example, being a very wearable multi-panel scarf constructed from panels of vintage silk backed with burgundy. This is in Very Good/Excellent condition; it has a small mark on the back, as shown, and a similar small mark on one of the panels, as shown--although this is largely hidden by the patterning. Exceptionally rare, and very high quality, this is a bargain at just $35, or offer. Length: 61; Width: 10 1/4; Fringe: 4.

23) GORGEOUS "Blackcock" Mohair and Wool scarf by Gibson & Lumgair of Scotland. Founded in 1890 in Selkirk, Scotland, Gibson and Lumgair became one of the premier Scottish weavers, specializing in very expensive and very beautiful scarves. This wonderful mohair and wool scarf shows why they are justly famous; the subtle colouring is wonderful, and utterly Scottish, reminiscent of a soft Scottish winter gloaming just before returning home to tea on the fire.

28) VINTAGE scarf by Wanamaker's of Philadelphia.

Wanamaker's was one of the great pioneers of the Department store. In 1874 he issued the first copyrighted store advertisement, which promised a lot.... and when it turned out that Wanamaker's made good on ALL of his promises (not something that all retailers did back then!) business boomed. In 1911 Wanamaker expanded his store, and installed in it the world's second largest organ. (This organ is still in the Wanamaker's store in Philadelphia--now Macy's--and is played regularly; this is something that you should most definitely hear if you're in Philadelphia, as it's spectacular!) Wanamaker also acquired a huge brass eagle from the 1903 World's Fair, and installed it on the first floor of the store--this became a popular meeting spot, and, like the organ, is still present in what is now Macy's.

This lovely vintage scarf is thus a piece of retail history! In a classic muffler stripe this was made in West Germany, which dates it before the fall of the Wall. It's in very Good condition. Length: 47; Width: 10 1/2; Fringe: 1. Asking just $12.

32) EXTREMELY LARGE silk (?) wrap! This is huge! No fabric content, but it appears to be silk. It is in Good/Very Good condition, as it has some minor foxing. It's a lovely shade of antique linen with a hint of light yellow wash. Length: 78; width: 36; fringe: 3. Asking just $29.

36) BEGG OF AYR! The Rolls-Royce of scarves, Begg of Ayr's products are arguably the best scarves available today. Extremely luxurious, they are made with only the finest materials in Begg's mills in Ayr, Scotland--a location that Begg has been in since 1902, when they relocated from Paisley, where they were founded in 1860.

Begg was the company that popularized the Indian "teardrop" pattern in its fabrics...a design that became known as "Paisley", after Begg's location.

This scarf is a testament to the quality of Begg products. A blend of 70% cashmere and 30% wool, this is softy and luxurious, and is a beautiful tartan of wintry soft browns, forest greens, and creams.
