^^I like the Van Werk! The green one has charm, too.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Thanks! Yeah, that one's gonna' "Werk" just fine here in Florida!

Warm weather means Palm Beach ties.
Two for now, ( ignore the third on the right..) a few more later..

 

[Widebrim]

^^I like the pattern on the left one; very geometric.

Now, here is a nifty one I bought at a thrift store about a year ago:

It is silk ("CUSTOM MADE"), marked "JAVANESE SCABBARD 3," and is a "VG Original." Was sold by Fred P. Lachenmaier (!) in Milwaukee, and is c.mid-'50s.

Thanks. My wife loves the colors on that one.

Two more

Very nice, especially the blue one (very modern design). Any labels?

 

[Quigley Brown]

I'm going to stare at the blue one too long trying to see if there's something hidden in that pattern. Call it the 'rorschach' tie....lol

I see a standing man, arms extended forward, and with a thought bubble over his head...[huh]

Cool! lol


Here are the labels for the last two I posted.

There are some nice ties here. On a side note; I laugh every time I see this thread. Reason being, the E comes off as a T at first glance.lol lol lol . Switch to lower case, or not.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

^^ I had that on the brain back when I lived in Ft. Lauderdale too. lol

Scored another '30s number today for 50 cents. Need to clean off a little schmutz but otherwise OK.

Here's a nice 1940s art deco tie I found at the Goodwill recently. What sort of baffles me is the font used on the word 'Hi-Lights.' It appears to be almost too way ahead of its time, but it must be a deco type. Growing up in the 70s I saw this type used in sci-fi and computer-related films so it's engrained in me that's it modern.

"Non-wrinkable"... as in, guaranteed not to wrink?

 

[Widebrim]

QB, this tie that I posted a while back has the same Art Deco-ish "HI-LIGHTS" printed on the the back of the front blade, but is from Regal Cravats, not Resisto.

I can see how they are similar. There must have been a whole 'Hi-Lights' line out that year. Mine has no other labels on it. What does the lining say on your's?

Yes, QB, it must have been a whole line, but what's odd about it is that yours is from the Resisto Company, and mine is from Regal. Regarding the lining, there is nothing writtien on it.[huh]

The "Hi-Lights" font is an interesting one. There was another tie or two posted a while back that had modern looking graphics.

I picked this up today at "50 Hats" a little vintage shop on Queen Street here in Halifax.

The twist is just from my scanner.
