I want that Buick tie! (And I've never owned a Buick even...)
Are you willing to pay about $15 for it?

The tie for the day is:

You know the answer to that question...
Well, no sooner than I knocked very thin ties that I found one I like. It happens to belong to my grandfather (who probably hasn't worn it since the 1970s, as I noticed it in a few early '70s photos of the family), and he might have bought it in Croatia before immigrating to the United States in 1970. In pictures of him wearing it, he wore it with a brown 3-button suit with narrow lapels (it wouldn't fit me, and it felt very thick).
The maroon/oxblood tie with a yellow stripe is 2 1/2 inches with an asymmetrical bottom, made by Trevira (it's polyester), likely bought in Croatia.
Maybe I should try a wider knot than a four-in-hand, as I originally found it with a wide knot, but the tie was short. I tied it so that it's long enough to reach down to where the pants end. It's about 52 inches in length.
This is the only one I've ever found from the Georges Schreiber 'Panorama of America' series by Raxon, but also labeled 'Superba Matterhorn.' I'm sure somewhere someone has all 48. Although not indicated which state this one represents I'm guessing it's Pennsylvania by the use of the Liberty Bell...besides an underside label says: 'Roemmel Myers of Carbondale, Pa'

That is a great one! Good find. I wonder what the others look like. Raxon was a small brand but Superba certainly wasn't.
I really have to get pictures of some ties I got in. I bought that lot of vintage ties but the seller threw in another 20 more modern ties. There was a Barbie tie int here. Men wear Barbie ties?!

Here's a link from the K.N.O.T. website that shows quite a few. You have to guess the states, though...
