peek-a-boo Mid-1950s novelty tie. Label says 'Majesty.'

Purchased a whiles back at a yard sale. It was dangling from a clothes line for a quarter...

I see you have the same weakness as I do for tropical theme ties. Very nice finds.

Here's my current mood; a new-to-me ebay tie:

And an old favorite:

Two great tropical ties, kools (and I like the Korry one, too). Any labels on these?

Man, you have a knack for finding ties, QB. I have one with the that features the ballerina graphics on the front, and what appears to be Jayne Mansfield inside the front blade (was right on top of a tub of ties, $2).

Modern, polyester tie, but the logo makes up for it.

That's true. My father was a member for a while.

So he was part of our proud group, then. I wear it very rarely, only when I'm in a certain mood and feel like flying the colors.

Korean War veteran. He wasn't a big joiner. Never talked much about it.[huh]

I love those palm tree motiffs.

The palms jive with my fantasy world, living here in the land of snow.

You need to sojourn out here in the winter, then. Cantor's Deli in Fairfax still beckons you (I saw the photo on your myspace page).

Man oh man...it's where I'd love to be right now. Paridoxically, I love Milwaukee but hate winter. I'm sure I'm not the only California dreamer in the midwest.

It is supposed to be in the high 70's or low 80's on Sunday.

Today is 33 and sunny in Milwaukee; I'm good at pretending. I'll pretend that is nice.

^^Oh, the Korry is from Eagle Rock, the L.A. district right next to me. Solid!

Here's one I bought just the other day, with an attractive swirl pattern. It's by Damon, originally sold by Irv Lewis, Ithaca, NY, c.mid-'50s; 50-50 silk and Dacron polyester. Very smooth and almost shimmers.
