Is that last tie pleated? If it is, I'll take it if you don't want it.

Doran said:No pleats and no, I don't NOT want it. (That means I DO want it.)
And -- once again - - it was about $5. [insert or imagine gloat.] Actually, a bit more: it was in a plastic-covered packet with 2 more ties. Total cost was about 17 bucks. For all three. Unworn. [insert or imagine horrible gloat.]
Doran said:Do you all have Dyer and Spark's book Fit To Be Tied: Vintage Neckties of the Forties and Early Fifties? I found it marvelous.
jamespowers said:I saw that at the last Vintage Expo. I should have bought it just for the nudie ties.
Feraud said:Ah horses! My favorite motif for ties and accessories. :eusa_clap
Doran said:I was at the Expo on Geary on Sunday. I guess you were there Saturday. I bought the book from the woman with all the ties including nudies. Those were expensive.

That is the book I was thinking of then. Those ties were really expensive but she gave my son a tie for free. Cutness has its priviledges. That and he loves ties more than I do. Whenever I open the closet with ties on the door I have to watch out or a tie ends up around his neck before I know it.
Doran said:She had no price tags or firm prices on anything except the book, and that just makes me uncomfortable. Very nice, wonderful lady, though.
