Show us your TIES

[jamespowers]

I figure I might as well post my tie collection, I've thought about doing it from time to time, but I never felt like taking all my ties down from the rack to photograph them.

Brown ties, first is a 1940s-50s Dreyfuss & Son from Dallas; second is a 1930s Hoag's Men's Wear "Pebble Beach" with NRA tag:

Red ties, a 1950s (I suppose) Haband acetate and a hand painted Brent:

Blue ties, 1940s no label, but one of my favorites; next is a 1940s Linoe "Made in California":

"Oddball" colors, 1940s Van Heusen "Van Cruise", another of my favorites, and 1940s "Modern Abstract", this one has a few nicks on the edge, but I think it's still perfectly wearable:

Green tie, 1940s Weinstock, Lubin & Co. "Hollyvogue" All Silk:

That's not all of my ties, I've got modern ones and one other vintage one that's not worth showing off. They're not perfect, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud of them.

You have good reason to be proud. I like the last three. Nice.

A 1950s Tootal cotton tie:

A Tootal Standard Quality tie. This one dates to some time before the early 1950s:

I think this will soon become one of my favourites.

All very nice. I especially like the Pebble Beach and Brent ones.

Very nice TT, the red one is quite striking...I 've not seen another Tootal like it.

That's why I like them so much. There are millions out there, and so many fresh designs to discover.

I like the first one.

And the tie grouping of the day is:

 

[Widebrim]

^^What motif is on the left one??

^^What motif is on the left one??

I puzzled over that a bit myself but it looks to be a stethoscope and a syringe. A doctor theme tie.

 

[Widebrim]

^^Yeah, the stethoscope I could make out, but not the syringe...Interesting.

 

[jamespowers]

It is an interesting tie---not the most interesting in the world though.

Well, at least youknow the exact date of the tie. Great find too. :eusa_clap

It's so cool, most likely a promotional item given out at this convention...also interesting fact, the Marshall-Wells Hardware Co. folded just a little under ten years later.

 

[Widebrim]

^^Nice find!
