pleasant find at thrift store today 2 ties for 2 bucks. how about that hunting tie...
the unlabeled one appears to be standard 1940's bold look design and construction. not sure on the date for the Wembley? seems like a late 40's tie, any guesses?

Yeah, it looks late 40s/early 50s. Nice.

I will send you as many as you want. How many do you want?
Still have that hideous example I dumped on you? lol lol
I've still got it, although it really isn't as bad as MANY others I've seen. Sort of late '60s pop art example...

c. late '60s tie from a store called Ward & Ward. Feels like rayon/acetate, and you know that it's square-bottomed...

The tie of the day:
I am a geometric design tie person but I would say this tie would take me away from my norm. Great tie! Would look great with one of my berets!

I can see it and it matches.
No, that's a service ribbon lapel pin. The pocket square was cut out of the photo.

I also like the geometric patterns. This tie definitely has a geometric appeal.

The day when we no longer have amazing new vintage tie patterns to show each other will be a sad day indeed, but I don't think that day will ever come. There is just such an ENDLESS supply of great old ties out there. Thanks for posting, everybody! Keep them coming!

Seemingly endless because there were just so many made in a period of years when tie consumption was high.

As JP implied, that day will never come. I've got quite a few I still haven't posted, although it has become harder to find vintage ties in the L.A. area...By the way, what happened to that thread that listed books about neckties? I think that Feraud started it, but I can't find it.
