Great BobHufford! Wow! What beauties :eusa_clap

 

[Two Types]

A couple of Tootal ties:

1940s 'Special Quality':

1950s 'Blue Quality':

I can safely say these are bolder than most British ties of the period!

Nice ones, Two Types! The one with dots is really snappy.

Nice ones TT and yes bolder than the average Tootal!
That's rather striking JP.... almost Sgt Peppers!

Sgt. Peppers?! There is no dope smoke coming from it. Heaven Forbid!
It is more Asian in character to me.

Thanks Eddie.
I usually just struggle with the iron too. I have one that produces steam, so it helps.

I see I see. I find it difficult to iron out the wrinkles without flattening the life out the tie.

Are those French chateaus on that left one JP? I like the one next to it too - it's one I'd wear. It seems narrower than the rest - does that usually indicate it being from a later period? Or did they make them all widths right through 1940s-1950s?

I am not sure what they are but I am sure they aren't McMansions.
You would wear that and risk losing membership in the BTC?
Usually the narrow they are the later they are. However there were some slight width differences with in the era. Many war era ties through the 40s were still the width of the 30s ties due to the scarcity of fabric and rationing. From about 1947 to 1951 is where you will see the wider ties. After that ties gradually got narrower---eventually nearly down to a shoestring. :doh: Then the 70s came and all Hell broke loose with even crazy Kipper ties. They were hideous and thicker than your seat cushions.
