Show us your TIES

^^Whatever minor defects, a great-looking tie. And it is amazing how many good neckties Towncraft offered...

Especially when you consider the dreck they now offer.

Now, 'dreck' is a new word-of-the-day for me.....

I was going to mention that, but couldn't bring myself to dwell on their present-day, polyester rags...

Sorry. When I get excercised the esoteric words sometimes come out.

The tie of the day is this Interesting one:

This is most likely German, probably from the 1930s:

I won this old Christmas gift box full of 1930s Vintage goodies! 6 vintage ties and 1 pair of braces and mens garters, plus some linen handkerchiefs and an old photo w/Hebron Basketball team tournament ribbon from 1935:

I thought I did pretty good with winning bid too!

Fantastic win Johnny, what a bargain! :eusa_clap

I'm really liking that white tie, I'm always on the lookout for one of those. And it doesn't even look like it's been worn (so no stains!). Lucky!

 

[Johnny J]

Pera, I think all of these ties are NOS. And I finally have a nice vintage pair of braces! Thats what I was missing in my vintage waredrobe.

My goodness, JohnnyJ -- I'm almost embarrassed to admit how envious I am of that score.

 

[Gin&Tonics]

It's a treasure trove!! Those ties are gorgeous. I love the blue paisley and the striped one particularly. The cream one is lovely too; what's it made of?

 

[Gene]

If you want to part with the sock garters I will gladly take them off your hands! Also, Hebron, huh? My grandpa was on the Hebron, Indiana basketball team around '35

Your grandpa, really? I will have to take a close up of that picture so you can see it better.

Here is the tag on that cream tie:

What do you think Gene? Do any of these guys look like your grandpa?

 

[Chasseur]

Wow great find! The blue and white ties really stand out for me.

 

[Gene]

Thanks for the closeups Johnny, but I was off by one year (and it's probably a different Hebron).
