But it was for more than one.
Yeah, I know...:eusa_doh:

^^Nice ties, QB; especially favor the red one. (The "vault," you say?)
And here's one HECK of a vintage 1940s (or late '30s?) tie:

^^Oh, that is nice! You were at the Goodwill that early in the morning? You're hardcore, QB.
...was it commonplace to put pin-up girls on the backs of ties (this one labeled "Bubbles")?
My idea of vintage ties revolves around old Pancaldi and and some French thing that starts with an "L" that I can't remem--wait, it's Lanvin (if I spelled that right). I did find this, though, and was curious...was it common place to put pin-up girls on the backs of ties (this one labeled "Bubbles")?
Before eBay existed, these vintage 1950s 'hidden girlie' ties were thought to be rare, and fetched high prices. Today, eBay has shown us that they're not nearly as rare as we'd thought, and the prices have plummeted.
Thanks, Marc. I don't sell these things. I hate selling items I know nothing about (although, I might sell a Brooks Brothers Madras suit I stumbled across). If you want this tie, it's yours for the shipping. If you don't want it, it's up for grabs to anyone else that does. Same deal--pay for actual shipping and I'll send it out.
Thank you very much for the offer! Truly, I'd prefer that someone else have a chance at it.
