[CONELRAD]

Picked up these two 40s/50s ties in Dallas today.

This Countess Mara "medieval sport" themed tie...


...and this A. Sulka & Company silk tie.


They aren't my usual style of ties, but they're much higher quality than any of my other vintage ties.

Also got this oriental brocade tie from Hong Kong in the mail a few days ago as a belated Chirstmas present. I don't know how old it is, but it was made by the "Sai Fat Co." and is only partially lined. It's 55 inches long and 3 inches wide.

If those aren't your style then you need to think about a change Those are great!

Don't get me wrong, I love these ties. I just wouldn't have been so quick to pick these designs over others if they weren't the high-end ties that they are, especially the Sulka, as pink isn't really my color.

I suppose when I said that they weren't my style, I didn't take all the other styles into account. Compared to the bulk of my vintage ties, these are slightly less vibrant, but they do fit into the same general style of tie.

Recent tie haul.

Man, love the Pilgrim and the Damons!

Very nice, especially the Countess Mara. The Oriental brocade tie is likely mid-'50s.

That one's my favorite, too. I'm not usually a big fan of the Countess Mara designs, but I like this one. Plus it goes with my own initials.

And that was more or less what I had guessed about the Oriental tie, but I wasn't sure because of its foreign maker.

 

[Two Types]

The two on the left are splendid (three and four are nice, but the first two are really nice).

I really like the three on the right, especially the Pilgrim.

I really like the three on the right, especially the Pilgrim.

The last three are going to be harder to find than the first four. There were and are TONS of striped and check ties being produced. Unique designs are harder to find. Enjoy them all! :cheers1:

 

[Talbot]

I really like the three on the right, especially the Pilgrim.

Ditto. The first four are beautifully understated, but the last three really reach out.

Ditto TT but everyone knows my tie fetishes include checks/plaids especially woollen and coarse materials...silks etc are good too but plaids and some subdued stripes rock my boat!
Great haul GEF.

And the ties of the day are works of art:

 

[Widebrim]

^^Man, works of art is correct. Beautiful.

Newer bow tie. Felt the pink today for some reason.

 

[Widebrim]

^^Some days a pink bow tie is to be embraced...Nice, 1mach1.

 

[1mach1]

Right on. Thanks Widebrim.

 

[jamespowers]

The Marman has such a nice illusion of depth.

Agreed! You aren't likely to find another guy walking around with one on. That is a good thing.

 

[GoldenEraFan]

Ditto. The first four are beautifully understated, but the last three really reach out.

I dunno, I can't pick a favorite. One day I like the smaller earth tone subtle muted colors of the late '20s/early '30s and then the next day I like the big fat shiny 1938-1948 era ties.

That's why you need several of each!
