Something like this has been on my radar for decades now. The ultimate in thrift store chic around 40 years ago, they have slipped into the realm of vintage and prices have climbed beyond reasonable. I found this one for $4. I was over the moon.
As a point of conversation, how did some of you guys find yourselves interested in vintage ties, or vintage anything else? Mine began in the thrift stores of the early 80s, when they were ripe with fancy cowboy shirts, bowling shirts with other people's names stitched on them, sharkskin suits, and loud ties. These days they're full of the crap from the "90s and early 2000s. The good stuff generally fetches a heavy dime in vintage shops if you can even find it. I'm not object to paying if it's something I want badly enough....but it's always better when it turns up on the cheap.
