after further testing, the ties bar wins out as most preferred method. I guess they made them for a reason! I just had to raise the bar a little for myself

It was one of those moments of disbelief when I saw it hanging there for all to see, but I guess it was meant for me....
That was a great find! I would keep that place in mind if I were you.

Nice one there. I wish they still made ties like that out here instead of the nasty Che on velvet stuff.

Understatement of the year!
Modesty prevents me from saying that though.

That should be my mother lode for a while. The shop is run by the 'little ol' ladies' of the hospital auxillary. I'm a familiar face to them. Today, they let me go through the ties back in the sorting room and only charged me fifty cents each....

^^All nice ties.:eusa_clap I especially like the Wembley (looks early-'40s) and the Richman Bros. examples. (The Davidson's store on Hollywood Blvd., where the Hollyvogues came from, no long exists.)

I did some shopping yesterday and came home with these ones:
This is by 'Huntleigh' it seems to be part of a 'heathers' range?
This is by Stafford. I was a bit unsure about buying it but one can never have enough red ties (probably rather more modern than some of the others):
http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j457/twotypes22/ties/STAFFORD2.jpg
This apears to be a 1940s tie but has no labels. Great colours:
I guess this is from the 1950s. It's by 'Frame Ties' and is labelled as 'Europa Silk'. At first I thought the varying widths of the white stripe was a sign that the silk was splitting. But no, that's the design. As soon as I realised that, I knew I was going to buy it:
I am guessing this one - by 'Abbey' - is from the late 50s, maybe early 60s. I bought it simply because I don't have any other ties in that colour:

A couple I acquired recently. The left one has no tags and an odd texture that feels man made but durable with no lining. I doubt either are golden era, but I got them for 1$ and they look like they've never been worn.
