Well, at least that means you didn't basically give away about 50 bold look ties at about $5 each, only to conclude later on that bugger! I shouldn'ta done that!!!
This is my entire collection of vintage ties from the "Bold Look" era, thus far. It's about a quarter of my overall tie collection but the one era I've decided to concentrate on. I'm selling off all my others on eBay - well over 200 in all, from the 50's, 60's 70's, to present.
A couple of deadstock palm beach ties:
Yes, I had. A few years ago I decided I didn't like them, so sold off my whole collection. I've since decided I actually do like them, and have built the collection up again. And who can turn them down for 50p?
Of course, still never had a double.

Spent some time this morning getting screen captures of all the ties Steve Martin wore in DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID. One of my favorite films of all time, and probably the source of my obsession with vintage 40's/50's ties.

Which bird?I actually have the bird one. Interesting.
just got this, my first Australian tie, made by 'Austico' (Australian Tie Company... get it ?)
the salt and pepper type woven areas look very similar to some 'Sugar and Spice' weaves.

Nice! All of the ties I've found in Australia have been British. Brought out by 10 pound Poms, no doubt. My only 30s/40s Marks & Spencer's (St Michael) tie I found in Australia.

they couldn't push the British angle much harder with this tie could they ? apparently 'Austico' still exist.
No, that's just plain ugly. But not all 70's ties are that bad. The tie I'm wearing is my avatar is a actually a 70's tie.
