Show us your TIES

[Quigley Brown]

Today's tie is a real doozy. Basketball themed rayon (probably) satin and from the early 1930s (I think). probably a teen's tie?

What a conversation piece that must have been back then (and now). My first thought was that it's 1940s because of its shape and just because sports were a popular theme.

Nope. Right here in London. It's one of several sports themed ties I have, including a lovely woven silk early 30s number with woven baseballs and bats.

Did you pick that up in Hoosier country?

I've starting collecting ties but am not sure about how vintage they may or may not be, any input is welcome.
This is one of my favorite finds. I think has a 30s look

I just recently purchased these, they look late 50s into the 60s from what I understand.

These are Goodwill buys and I'm not sure if they're vintage or just dated...

I have others that I still need to take photos of and then will post them here.
This has also started me collecting tie clasps.

Have you posted a pic of the woven baseballs and bats? It sounds amazing.

Dan'l, I think the black and pink pleated is from the 50s.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

No I haven't. I don't think I've ever worn it either. It's colouration is red bats and balls on a pink-ish/cream-ish background. Really nice tie.

That is a beautiful pleated tie; I have one very similar to it. The width and design place it c.mid-'50s. Does it by chance have a Legath tag on it? Of the others posted, the middle three do look late-'50s/early-'60s, while the bottom three look maybe late-'80s, but it's a bit hard to pinpoint without seeing them in person.

This is what I'm wearing today: c.mid-'50s, nice brocade background, feels like rayon or rayon/acetate. There is no manufacturer's label, but on back of the front blade it says, "It's NORMANDIZED trademark FINISHED To Resist Spots & Stains."

And to piggyback on Quigley Brown, here are three of them with the same pattern. (I could have had a brown one, too, but I figured that I had too many brown ties already.[huh])

Great design. Any labels on it?

Nice hand-painted, kools. Never heard of DaVinci ties before.

To have three is great. :eusa_clap

Unfortunately, no labels.

No, unfortunatley it does not have any tags. Thanks to you and Feraud for the reply.
I think there is a website that I can check the age of the ties that do have tags.

What I'm wearing right now at school. An Oviatt tie, all sik, c.mid-'50s, thick material, no lining.

^^Man, that's a beauty! California mission design, no? Undoubtedly hand-painted in California. As always, my question is, any labels?

 

[Kahuna]

I agree with widebrim about that tie kools, it's a real stunner.

 

[Widebrim]

Today's tie

I like this one, too, kools. Looks like rayon.

You're right, QB. When it comes to neckties, three is definitey not a crowd!
