Nice ones, Feraud!

-----------

Got these two at an antique mall over the weekend.

{BTW, they also had two or three others which were obviously '40s and were VERY WIIIIIDE. So much so that they scared even me. lol Definite "Bold Look" stuff. They were beautiful designs though, and in good condition. Priced oddly at $27.50 for one and $29 for another, etc. Anyone here want me to go back and get them for you if you reimburse?}

That blue one on the left has the elements I really dig and the other one has a combination of zip and pizzaz like a carnival.

Here's something a little different, a tie from the inside out. The stitching on the back seam was coming out, so I took out the thread to replace it and decided to open it up all the way to make a pattern from it for altering modern ties to vintage specs. I think this was a homemade tie, probably '30s, the only interfacing is that tiny, thin little strip to stabilize the knot.

A common scene in my house! All those exceedingly wrinkled ties that I get as parts of lots. Take them apart, repress and reconstruct. I have also made patterns from my knackered vintage ties (20s, 30s, 40s, early 50s) to make some, using vintage fabric.

Results to come soon.

That's interesting to see the construction of the tie.

Old Tie

 

[Warbaby]

Here are a couple of older (not sure how old) ties that I found yesterday whilst giving lolly loisides a tour of the local thrift stores.

The first one is 48" long, textured fabric with a bit of a sheen. I like this one a lot. The second tie is silk, 50" long. Haven't decided yet if it's cool or just ugly, but I like the pattern match on the two ends. Any thoughts on the dates?

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Nice parade of neckwear, fellas. I really like the "Broadway".

------------

OK, so these two are squarely eighties jobs. I'll keep 'em around in case they become sought-after someday.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Then it starts getting trickier:

These have a thirties feel about 'em (length- and material-wise) but I'm not certain. What do you make of those little metal thingies???... [huh]

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Which brings me to these which really have me stumped. They're old but I can't seem to be able to determine the era. Ideas?...

 

[Baron Kurtz]

60s.

The little metal bits on the Italian ones: Are they clips? Seems like the kind of thing you sometimes see advertised in 30s ads, for clipping the thin end to the wide end to control the tie.

Thanks, Baron!

Robert, I love that one on the left! :eusa_clap

Well, today I visited a different thrift store and hit the mini-motherload. Fifty cents each.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

I'm not typically a big fan of painted ties but when I saw this one for $8 at an antique store today...

 

[Widebrim]

^^Great one, Gene! :eusa_clap Worth some money, too.

Binkie, I have (somewhere) the same one but in a different color, including the double writing evidenced on the "label!" Never thought I'd see another one like that...

The thrill of the hunt...

Great finds!

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Thanks! I love the validation almost as much as the ties.
