Not vintage, but it was cheap and the blue ones are silk.

Here's a colorful dragon. It has no label, though.

Nice one!

Very nice tie, but I believe that's a Asian phoenix.

Nah, I like that tie in particular since I raise german roller canaries. I usually wear it to shows etc.
They come up once in a while on OFAS. You just have to look for them. That one came with a blue background and a red background from what I gather.

First, what is OFAS? And, could you possibly post a photo or scan of the bird tie? I've never seen it in color. Please, let me know if you ever run across another. Thanks.

OFAS = Ebay. There is a lot on there now with several bird ties but not that particular one.
I will see if I can get a photo of the tie tonight or so.

I recently scored a lot of 500 ties on eBay for less than $.35 cents a piece, shipping included. They were delivered this morning and I just finished sorting through them. Found only two from the 1940's, but a few dozen from the 50's & 60's. The rest are modern and in perfect condition. I figure I can turn them on eBay individually for at least $5 each.

Only two out of 500? Wow. Tough break.

Both nice!

That's a bird, isn't it?

 

[Quigley Brown]

Both nice!

Thanks. Hope you don't mind that I keep posting so many. It's so easy to put these on a flatbed scanner and have them on here within a few minutes. I'm sure I'll accidently post one I've displayed on here from the past, though.

I have a collection of square-enders....

I'd love a tie in this fabric:

I don't think there is enough material in that hat.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

not quite, no. Might be able to get a bowtie out of it, though. I prefer to wear it as a hat, however, so I probably won't be cutting it up!

I was pretty sure you wouldn't. I am sure you could have it made but that sounds like a project more suited to the Aga Khan. Have enough material made for just one tie. lol

 

[Baron Kurtz]

That's easier than you might think, with a simple pattern like this. Hand blocking with little rubber stamps.

Nah, I figure you need to have the material hand woven or loomed by fine artisans. It would be more fitting with your level of class and style---bespoke.

I nearly went blind seeing this 70s ugly:

Gives regimental tie an entirely new meaning.
