Nabbed this today. It's pretty ugly, but vintage hand painteds rarely turn up in the thrift stores for $2 so I couldn't pass it up. I think the artist was paid in tequila, probably.

That is a great one! I would wear it. With a blue suit you would be good to go.

I'm with JP; I'd wear it, too. And 2 bucks is definitely under my radar...

You have just the suit for it too.

Picked up three great ties on my trip down to Austin.

This great late 1930s/early 1940s Regal,


this '40s or '50s Fashion Craft Hawaiian print,


and this unmarked '40s/'50s blue one.

Nice ones. I especially like the Hawaiian one

Agreed!

 

[Widebrim]

^^That Hawaiian one is definitely a winner.

A hand paint Florida. Was it hand painted in California?

Ha ha. Probably.
I'll double check this evening, though, because now I'm curious. You'd think I'd remember something like that, but these days I guess my brain doesn't hold on to details as well. I saw the Hawaiian tie and it took two days to click that I even had this one.

It says "individually hand painted". No indication of where but Cali would be a reasonable guess. Fla wasn't as flush with cheap Mexican labor (I meant to say "artists") back in those days. The left coast already was.

In those days of yore, the artists were just plain citizens who did the hand painting. Today the only hand painting you see out here are portraits of Che on velvet.
Florida wasn't flush with much way back then.

Just sold these in the Classifieds; don't think I posted them here before. They are two great examples of California hand-painted neckties (the parrot one comes from Gimbel Bros).

I suppose I should look in the classifieds more often. That parrot is nice.

^^Yes, I think you should...
