Yesterday's thrift find. Tag says Hand Made, paper tag on the end says Los Angeles Storage 755. Does it mean anything?

No idea what it means, but it's a nice find.

Looks like a dry cleaner’s tag. Is it stapled on or sewn on?
Nice tie either way. :clap:

^^That's what crossed my mind--that it is the cleaner's tag.

Could be a wardrobe tag too though. It could have been in the movies.

Or an evidence tag; it could have been in a vintage crime?

Yeah, although you'd think it would also have the name of the company, like Western Costume, for example.

That could have been lost loooonngg ago.

I could see a mobster wearing that.

Laundry tag maybe, but then why 'storage'? If wardrobe, then why no other markings? The tag is held on by a plastic tab, the kind that are used with price tags, but it goes through the tag and the tie twice.

For today, a few of my 30's members. Left to right: Arrow; "Hand Tailored Resilient Construction" label; and Longchamp.

I found the Longchamp at an antique store in Mariposa, CA. A flea-market vender friend gave me the other two.

The middle one wins. p

^^I agree.

You know far too much about hippies. Are you sure you weren't one way back then. Long hair and free love, dope smoking etc., etc. :eeek:

Free love and dope smoking were never my thing, and I was a bit too young to be part of the first wave of hippies anyways...Don't be afraid, J.P.; the hippies are not out to get you. Just repeat to yourself, "It's only a dream..."

It ain't no dream! It is a living nightmare! You need come up here so I can show you The World's Largest Outdoor Insane Asylum. :eeek:

Two knot planned ties and a third one just as cool!

Went a little crazy on ebay. Got all five from the same seller.
I'm assuming all 1940's/1950's?
