You did very well, especially the Wembley!:eusa_clap

The Wembley looks to be hand painted with a dry brush method. What do you think?
The other looks to be 30s with the stitched ends and no liner. [huh]

Nice and in great condition for its age. :eusa_clap

Without holding it I can' be sure, but it looks like it could be Superba 'Sugar and Spice'. Does it have a silky texture but made of rayon?

I'll dig one of mine out today and compare.

This is one of my favourite threads, I love checking out all the great ties you guys keep posting up!

Vintage ties are nearly impossible to find here in New Zealand (as is anything vintage actually), so I only have a small collection. I made a great discovery at one of my local second hand shops last week though, five vintage ties that I picked up for a couple of dollars.

Two of them are by local tie company Klipper, which was nice to find:

And another nice one by Curtis:

My hope in NZ's second hand stores is renewed!

^ Those are gorgeous!

Yeah, silky. I wouldn't doubt if it is a Sugar and Spice. I've at least one other S&S, maybe two. I'll have to check.

Here's one of them, can't find the other one at the moment.

Those NZ ties are awesome. I like finding vintage from out of the way places. I found a whole bunch of Australian ones when I visited the in-laws in Perth a couple years ago.


So, anyone heard of New Yorker Repps? This was in the lot from Thunderw21 … Like most foulards of the era, it ties a fantastic tight knot.

I got a nice lot in the mail today. One of them I was convinced was going to be 70s, but nope, late 30s it is. Really horrid floral print. I'll get some pics up tonight.

Judging by the label I'd say this (short) one comes from the 30s.

You did well finding that one. :eusa_clap

Thanks. It looks sort of strange with that white swath on the lower portion, though. [huh]

You probably don't see it much with a jacket on though.

The Lowenstein's name is so familiar. I know I have something from that store but cannot locate it..

Here's the lot of ties I bought with the disgusting middle 60s thing removed. I bought the lot solely for the first tweety bird Arco one (which i'm wearing today ). The rest ended up being a nice surprise. 3 late 30s ones.

Sorta Egyptian.

These are possibly stylised vultures or Phoenix???

And this hideous thing that I was convinced was from the 1980s or early 1990s, but in fact turned out to be late 30s. Doesn't make him any prettier!

And this one was in a charity shop I pass by on the way to work. 1940s/early1950s no labels.

That is definitely a nice one there. If it didn't cost much for the lot then you made out very well. :eusa_clap

Yep. Lovely heavy woven silk.

jp, they ended up being about £3 each. Not too great, but not bad at all. And only 1 cruddy 60s number.

A cruddy 60s number eh? I know what those are like. :eusa_doh:
3 Pounds isn't that bad---especially for the bird tie.
