The pattern on the Ebay tie is too busy and hides the pleats.

While thrifting yesterday, I believe I walked into someones Grandfather's closet! I found 17 exceptional ties-4 with new tags! Take a look:

Sorry the pic is somewhat blurry, but that's how the world looks to me most of the time...:eusa_doh:

I also have a few shots of some of my favorites:

These photos don't include any of the seventeen ties I found yesterday by the way. I guess Christmas came twice for me this year, because I also found a Gray Royal Stetson at the same place.

Great find, especially the duck tie!

I have maybe 40 vintage ties, some of which I have posted here. Ties like these just make me go crazy! I love vintage ties to the point of near frenzy. Pant pant.
Thanks so much for posting these, guys.

I have some NOS 1940s ties that I bought. The good news is they are striped blues and marrons which is unusual. MK and Benny H are the props of two of them following a recnt Lounger event. I might like to sell a few more . Any interest?

I recently moved and got around to unpacking my stuff over the past few days. My ties have been folded away in containers for a quite while so they look a bit mangled. I sold over 400 to a vintage clothes store before I moved (ones that weren't that great and I would never wear). I'm now down to around 1000.

QB, I especially love the Rodeo and Nudie Ties-both very nice. I haven't found any of either type in my travels as of yet, but am constantly on the lookout!

Great assortment! (And good censoring.lol). I am an amateur compared to you, with only about 250 in my collection. Recently purchased a peek-a-boo for $2, and will shortly be auctioning a Dali.

"Find a limb an hang 'em !"

Well Gents, after drooling over some of the ties I've seen here I'm thinking of throwing mine in the fireplace! So far I only have upwards of a hundred or so and it's already getting hard to find a decent way to hang them so they're easy to see at a glance when I'm trying to select one to wear. The usual style of hangers with pegs don't work well in that respect. The bottom line, I'd like to know how some of you hang your ties without covering an entire wall ( not that there's anything wrong with that ).
I'm standing by for any and all ideas and thanks in advance.

I have two of these buggers on my wall. They hold a great deal of ties.

The rest I have resting on regular clothes hangers in my closet.

I have well over 100 ties and wonder where it will stop.

Every time I think I am finished buying ties I see something I must have.

1930s paisley, far too delicate to wear.

Two Dacron blend ties from the "Bold Look" era.

I tried to get this one but was outbid at the last minute.

Hope someone here got it.

That center tie reminds me of Franz Ferdinand, damn, they're a good band.
