Show us your TIES

[Quigley Brown]

I am going to have to get my hands on that book. Where did you get yours?
I think the brand name on that one is Ricky ties.

Tell you the truth I don't remember where I got it. It was way back in the mid-90s.

I have the book, too, gents; you can usually find it on Amazon.com. The tie is also in another reference work that I have; I'll post photos later today.

You both cost me money. I found a bunch of tie books on Amazon. I bought two---including fit to be tied.

I shall do so...

Try looking up books on cigars. Four books begins to look like a starter set.

There are probably about ten. You have yours, the one up to 1955, the one after 1955, The Ties that Bind, The Little Book of Ties and The Tie: Trends and Traditions.

lol lol lol I think you might be right. Ties of the Fedora Lounge Era.

Oh, you know I'd be up for that! Problem is, who would publish it?[huh] (And don't forget Feraud and Marc Chevalier.)

Correct. I've got Fit to Be Tied, The Ties That Blind, 20th Century Neckties (Pre-1955), and The Tie: Trends and Traditions. The first three concentrate more on the '40s and '50s.

I could have bought the post-1955 edition at the same time I got the pre-1955 , but it didn't interest me at the time. What's that fourth one like?

The fourth book is from the UK, and therefore features quite a bit of British, as well as American neckwear. It also has a rather large section on the 19th century (something I didn't know when I purchased it on-line), and contains much more text than the other three books.

Here she is...from Resisto Ties.

From The Ties That Blind.

I've got a variation of the lower peek-a-boo tie in an off pink, but with a different pin-up.

 

[Guttersnipe]

Oh, cool! I have that tie on the bottom left, only in red...

...I picked it up in a junk shop in Vegas about two years ago:

^^Man, right out of da book! Some guys have all the luck!:eusa_clap (How much did you lay out for it?)

 

[Widebrim]

Thrift store find

At 46" long (and 2 1/2" wide), this is clearly a youth's tie, and a nice one. It is an EXCLUSIVE Cravat WORK OF "Art," and is made of acetate. I would imagine that it was one of a series of sports scenes.

Not much, five bucks maybe(?)- I can't remember the exact amount, but it was something comically low. It's actually the second one I've seen, pdxvintagette came across the same one a few years ago, but it was trashed. Someone once told me that particular design was sold as tourist schlock in Las Vegas...
