You can't go wrong with trees.

Unless you try to build something out of modern lumber and see it split to heck in a year

Trees and floral designs certainly seemed popular didn't they.

Unless the lumber is kiln dried and costs an arm and a leg then it might last two years.

Floral and tree designs are outdoorsy and manly.

4-1/2" Norwood Brocade 45" length

a close up shot- I don't think it was ever worn, but if so, the owner took care of it.

and a crappy shot - however, one of my clients couldn't help looking at it occasionally during our meeting.

Agree 100% on both points

He couldn't help it because it is a great looking tie and he wishes he had one.

I think this one is better than the blue Esquire because it looks as if attention was given during the folding process to centering the design down the tie. The blue Esquire navigates a little to the left, which is not a big deal, but to me denotes a subtle lack of detail.

True buy you can't be too picky as you aren't going to find modern equivalents any better

 

[Annixter]

That's a sweet one Tommy. Brocades are manly too.

Today's Tie: a 4-1/2" Original Designs, though geometric, I consider it one of my "Atomic" ties, I guess it can be both.

 

[dh66]

Nice one Tommy. I love the chartreuse/brown combination. I dig all things atomic era too, pretty much.

 

[Annixter]

^Yes, that is a nice one. Subtle but creative.

 

[Widebrim]

^^Definitely agree.

 

[Annixter]

Today's: 4" wide Regal. 1930's by the construction and length. As mint as they come--well, it was until this morning.

 

[Widebrim]

^^Beautiful hue of blue. Hope you didn't pay too much for it...

Thanks. Yes, I like the color as well. And no, the price was extremely reasonable.

 

[Widebrim]

^^Whew! Good...

 

[Annixter]

Today's is a local affair: 3-3/4" wide, Croydon Cravat, Silk, sold by A.E. Cramer of San Francisco. I've never come across a Croydon before. The picture lightens the green a little, as it is a nice, deep emerald.

 

[jamespowers]

^^Whew! Good...

He meant he paid more than $5.
And the tie of the day is

 

[Widebrim]

^^Nice Cutter.
