Show us your TIES

[Widebrim]

You did VERY well then. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
The Van Cruise line was one of the best parts of their tie collection as far as I am concerned.
Are you going to collect the other six wonders ties now?

I would like to have them all, but they are hard to find (plus, I'm not going to spend more than a few bucks for one). And you're right about the Van Cruise line being one of the best offerings from Van Heusen.

Okay, I previously posted this, but now you can finally see this thrift store find in a larger size. It is labeled, "YOU CAN'T TELL A BOOK BY ITS COVER," came from Bullock's, Los Angeles, and features books, shelves, and lamps. Measures 4" wide, 52" long, and feels like rayon.

Another one of the series just sold on eBay last week.

Yeah, I saw that, and I think it was owned by a FL member. Do you know what it went for, Marc? (And do you recall the design?)

My mistake. It didn't get any bids. I'll PM you with the link.

Thanks, Marc. The Temple of Diana...At $21.95, no wonder there were no opening bids...

Hey Folks

How old do you think this ties are? They are my only "old" ones. Thrift shops and flea markets in my area only seem to have ties with pattern like eighties sofa cushions. :eusa_doh:

This would be a perfect one with a cheesecake bathing beauty on the other side...

An off the cuff guess.. 40s on top and 30s on the bottom?

If you are not going to spend more than a few bucks, then they are going to be hard to find. They are out there though. Try finding all of the Signet ties connected to Duel in the Sun (1947). I have one.
Here is the ad:

I have the one on the far left. Anyone who happens to have the one of the others, let me know if it is for sale.

 

[Feraud]

I like theme ties and the Duel in the Sun series is a great one!

Ok so which one do you have to sell me?

 

[Quigley Brown]

Just the ad is a work of art. Is this called 'cravat porn?' cause I'm drooling...

I have never seen those before! Yeah, I would like to have 'em. (Like the ad, too.)

The photo of Jennifer Jones doesn't hurt, either...

That seems within the ballpark, especially if we make it early-'40s for the top one...

Yes it is! lol

 

[Widebrim]

Here is an interesting one from a thrift store. It is silk-screened labeled (unsurprisingly) "CANDLE STICK," and was sold by Harris & Frank. Measures 4" wide, 53" long, and feels like rayon. Unfortunately, the previous owner(s) flat ironed it, so I need to restore the roll on the edges.

 

[Dinerman]

Picked up a new one today at the thrift shop. 2-3/4" at the widest point. 53" long.
Colwell Brothers LTD.
The English Shop
Halifax, N.S.
by Park Lane

Same store as a mid '30s overcoat I bought at the same thrift shop last year.

A '60s skinny tie also at the thrift shop, which I didn't buy, also by Colwell's, showing their later logo.

The store is still in business.

Yes it is for tie collectors like us.
