Griffin & Howe Cartridge Tie​

Founded in 1923 in Andover, NJ, Griffin & Howe quickly became a premier American gunsmith. It was taken over by Abercrombie & Fitch--back when they were a real sporting goods store--in 1930, and under their management supplied sporting guns to Ernest Hemingway, Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, and Dwight Eisenhower.

In 1976 Abercrombie & Fitch sold the company to a long-term employee, and they are still in successful operation as a high-end privately-owned gunsmith today... and are still in Andover, NJ!

Just as their sporting guns are first-rate, so too is everything they sell--including this beautiful tie, featuring cartridges! Cut from a luxurious and durable blend of cashmere, wool, and silk, this was Made in England. It does have a couple of minor smudges that can be seen when you're looking for them (and know where to look!) and so this is in Very Good condition.

Measures 3 1/2".

Asking just $25, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.

What is the overall length of the tie? On my monitor the color is an "almost red". Are the colors accurate?

Yes, it's "almost red"--think of it as cartridge-coloured!

I'm afraid, though, that it's now sold.
