Show us your TIES

46 inches...with instructions included!

The grip lock and end lock ties were nice concepts. Threading the small end through the label later replaced them because they are cheaper to make. :eusa_doh:

Man, I would like to have one of those, especially one made in Hollywood! Yeah the end-lock concept was pretty cool.

Okay a couple of you wanted to see car ties, so here are two of them. The one on the left has no manufacturer's label, but it is silk; the second simply says that it was made in California.

I would bet they were both made in California. We are the car state. I like the second one best.

^^^No we're the car state here in Indiana just kidding.

I too like the second one best. Both are nice though.

The end lock ties are (not surprisingly) quite rare. I have one broken one and one that functions.

I believe I have some ads in old Apparel Arts; middle 1930s.

Today's thrift store find, a nifty Haband necktie with a palm tree motif. Interestingly, the front blade says "Van Wert" on the inside. Width is about 4", length 53," made of rayon.

Cool! Palm trees for Palm Sunday?

Does it look hand painted? A Van Wert is not exactly something I would expect to find in a thrift store. That was a great find!

I never thought of that...

No, it's not hand-painted. Yeah, it was a good find. Do anybody know who usually marketed Van Wert ties (besides Haband)?

Ascots - buck a piece!

'30s on the left (much shorter than the other) and late '40s to early '50s on right. I finally 'got the girl'!! Set me back five clams each (ha!) but I've been looking for one of those peekaboos for a while so I didn't quibble.

She's a cutie! Great find!

Thanks, Quigley!

^^She's worth every bit of 5 bucks, Gene! Who's the maker of the other tie, and what's the length?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

A couple of painted ties. One airbrushed that I think the word "egregious" might fit quite well. 4.75" blade.

The other is a standard handpainted in "California U.S.A. by Linde" with Daffodil motif; 4.5" wide. Quite nice for spring. I have quite a few by this maker, including the painted lady I posted a few pages back.

^^Yes, that airbrushed one is a trip, Baron. Ohrbach's was considered upscale; went under about 15 years ago. I've never heard of Linde before...

Ohrbach's, Zody's, White Front, Bullock's Wilshire...

Ohrbach's, Zody's, White Front, Bullock's Wilshire...

Oh, yeah...Add to them the May Company on Wilshire Blvd., Buffum's, the Broadway, Zeidler and Zeidler, Montgomery Ward, Zachary All, and many others that are just memories here.

I'm going to have to do some digging. I know I've run across the name Linde before.
