Dior necktie from the '50s? Nice!


I looked at it last night and maybe I am making it too new. It has to at least be from the early 50s because it is not one of those nasty narrow jobs. ;) :p
Thinking back to when she was still alive, I once saw her killing a few dozen of her husband's ties to restore and antique quilt that defintiely needed it.
I have mixed feelings about that because it did turn out very well and was restored nicely--however at the expense of ties I would have worn. [huh] :eusa_doh:
 
I found another Towncraft tie I have around here that still has its price tag. I don't want you thinking that I just pulled the 98 cent figure out of my hat. ;)

Here is the front of the tie:

You got a lot of tie for 98 cents in those days. :D

Okay, you've been validated!:eusa_clap I'm guessing about 1940. What's it feel like, acetate?

This past weekend I purchased two vintage ties at a flea market. The seller gave me a third based on the fact that it was stained and unsellable.
While looking at the tie I knew those stains would come out with a quick soak in Oxyclean. I am glad to report the tie looks brand new. :)
Will post pics soon.

Third from the left!:eusa_clap California product? And the hand-painted birdies...Very nice. Any tags?


I think the tye dye looking one is from California Hand painted.
The tie on the far right is actually a tie that was bought from a bird club--hand painted. Its a german roller canary.
The geese tie is a photie. The others are hand painteds and the blue with the gold finches is just a print I suppose.
You really can't see the hand painted rabbit tie very well. :eusa_doh:

Here are the new ones.
A couple could use a pressing but all are in sound condition.

The way my job is I don't often get to wear my 1940s ties, but they do make for a good display in one of my rooms. I tried to count them a while back, but gave up after 1000. Somewhere in there are two Salvador Dali ties. I found them both at yard sales for a quarter. There's a nice nude woman tie (in the upper right) that I've worn only once in public.
