Check the classified ads guys.... 6 Dali ties for sale!

Very nice to look at. But compared to the prices I paid for mine that's all I'll do...just look.

Feraud, where are you finding all these crazy Palm Beach ties?

Here's another painted lady tie. It's a pity about the two moth bites. I'm considering having her rewoven. only one label and it says "Made in California".

 

[Tommy]

picked this one up this week, it looks 40's-ish in print design and shape, but who knows, any ideas on the age of this given the arrow label type and construction?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

40s sounds right.

Ive seen em go for as low as $49 to as high as $700. There's a buyer for everything!

 

[kools]

Stunning...but too rich for my blood.

 

[Widebrim]

40s sounds right.

I second that...

Baron, if I were to go about fixing those two moth holes (assuming I'm looking at it right and that they are on the face near the eys), I'd be tempted to fill them in with fabric that would make the two spots look like jewels, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, or, perhaps beauty marks. I wouldn't try to match the existing color for the skin...

Just picked up these 3 gems at a thrift store for 3 euro's (3,50 dollars?). All German and 100% polyester. My guess is sixties.

First post by the way. Hello to you all!!

The holes are in such symmetry that I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was the original treatment, and that the glue deteriorated the fabric and the applications tore off at some point. Very good suggestion, Tommy, in either event.

The one on the left is interesting.

Hello Bram and welcome to the lounge.

The green one of the left is interesting looking. I like all three and have one similar to the one on the right. I too would guess 60s but we'll see what the experts here say

The one on the left is my favorite by far. I Have never seen a cigar shaped one (but i'm no expert so let's see what they've got to say). I Think they'll do great on a white shirt with one of my sixties suits. A bit Mad Men style...

 

[Widebrim]

^^I've never seen a cigar-shaped one either, Bram; very interesting. Altough that particular tie is likely early-'60s, I'm not so sure about the other two without having seen the back of the front blades, or knowing the lengths.

 

[Tommy]

This is a tie I picked up some time ago. It's in great condition, it looks and feels late 60's to me, I am curious if anyone can confirm and also identify the name of the pattern style. I believe Prince Igor brand existed between 1961 and 1992. 3-7/8" wide.

 

[Feraud]

Hand painted horsehead. The background is mauve and the remaining material is blue.

Feraud: When those ties say "Hand Painted", that doesn't mean the entire inage was hand painted, does it? Doesn't it mean, at least in the case of that tie, that the color highlights were hand applied? Just wondering.
BTW, Dude, you gotta come to some of the events around town and bring the missus. Haven't seen you in a while!

 

[Feraud]

I believe (someone correct me if I am mistaken..) hand painted in this case refers to the image of the horse.
Here is another nice example.

Yes, the better half and I need to attend a few more local events. It's been too long. Btw, I still have that book on Churchill I promised you.

Very nice! Did you pick that up on e-Bay? There was one, I think, on it that I could have picked up for $2.99, but was too late...

Nice tie, Feraud. Regarding the term "Hand-Painted " it can mean that just the high-lights were done by hand.
