Thanks for the tutorial, jamespowers. It takes much of the frustration away from fiddling with tying bowties.

Yep, he is also great for tying the cravat or ascot too.

 

[Giftmacher]

How old could that be?

Very nice!

 

[Giftmacher]

Thanks, it doesn't look too old, does it?

 

[Shangas]

Very nice, but I doubt they're very old.

 

[Giftmacher]

Yeah, you and me both, but it was free, at least.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Any time 30s-60s, at a guess.

Nice buckles.

 

[Rudie]

My impression was that, at least in Germany, the V-shape was more common in the 20s and early 30s, later the it was usually the Y-shape. What do the experts say?

I found this earlier this week, it needs a damn good clean but it's an early one 1940's I think and is a very good quality one, the leather, stitching etc is all very well done, just a nail file and a Souplex 'styptic' pencil missing both of which I have unused....the Razor is an early 40's Gillette 'Tech' that I think is Rhodium plated?

here's one of the unused unopened Gillette blades

here's the razor after cleaning and sterilising, clean razor plus unopened blade= yesterdays shave

Looking at the razor you would think they would cut your face off but they work amazingly well with a nice close shave. I know. I have one too.

While at the Flea Markets yesterday.
I ran across this Stetson [too small].

And also these boxes. I liked how they were set up in the booth.
