Ooooh - and a burgundy pleated tie too! Very drool-worthy!
I have one very similar to the black and white tie on the left of the first image - I actually wore it to work today with a red v-neck sweater, black dress shirt, and beige silk...
Er...I don't know what a "Tom and Jerry" is, but it says "Knox fifteen" on the sweatband.
I was wondering about the edge too, if it is the famed cavenaugh - I will take close-up pics of it soon and post to get your opinions. I am supposed to be writing my art history lecture for tomorrow...
I still haven't made up my mind how I feel about this style of ties..I kinda like them....but then again....[huh] I do like the color combination in the blue and yellow one - very sharp!
I saw one recently at an estate sale, and didn't buy it. :eusa_doh: I regret it now, but I turned it...
Thanks! I can't wait to see the eBay ties in person. The seller had quite a few of them up for sale (looked like well over 100) - said he was selling off his entire collection. I wish I'd had more money to pick up another dozen or so, but as it is I stretched the budget pretty far picking...
Just wanted to stop by and show off this funky tie I just picked up for my hubby for $2 at a thrift shop. Based on what I have read here, I believe it to be 40's - it is a silk/rayon blend, is nice and short (a good 6 inches shorter than contemporary ties), nice and wide (4.5 inches, if I...
Wow - everybody has such great hats! I just posted pics of a couple of my hubby's on the "Diamond Authority" thread, I thought I'd post more here. Hubby loves old hats (and ties, argyle socks, suspenders, and, and, and). We were able to pick up some real nice hats for $10 each (with hatboxes)...
Thanks for the kind words. I keep telling him that he would fit right in with you guys.....
Hope you dig his hats! I will be posting images of his panama hat et al. on the appropriate threads soon.
Cheers!

Beaver Resistol
Here's hubby's new Resistol. The color was hard to capture - it's a deep greenish brown. More brown than green, but definately with a green cast to it. The hatband is black. Any shiny spots are just the camera flash, and not "worn shiny" spots on the felt.
<a...
Thanks, fellas!
Submitted for your approval is hubby's "new" to him Knox. We purchased it at an estate sale for $10. We were told that the original owner (who had STACKS of hatboxes with hats - we came home with three that fit hubby's noggin/taste) was a local banker. He also seemed to be...
Would it be alright with you gents if I submitted pics of my hubby's hats for entrants to the Diamond Authority? I can't convince him to check out this site himself, so I will have to be his proxy for now. [huh]
He loves old hats and ties, and has some pretty cool examples of both.

That's exactly how I cleaned my barkcloth curtains when I first got them, and they turned out beautifully.
Mine were pretty badly yellowed by nicotene, and most of it came out by soaking (and mild agitation by hand) in a solution of warm water and dish detergent in the bathtub. If you can...
While mine's not as cool...
...here's my cabinet:
Definately more modest than some, but is fits my small house ;)
Here it is open:
And just for fun, here's a closeup of some of my vintage barware (and yes, I've used most of it):
The light doesn't work anymore. I keep...
More good finds....
So, my handle is Mixmaster, but I haven't posted any yet (Sunbeam Mixmasters, that is!).....
In this picture there are three mixers, the one in the middle and the one on the left are both model 3's (made 1936-8). The model 3 on the left was purchased from a fellow...
Show us that clock up above to the right! I have a Welby that looks similar!

Here is a more complete pic of it in it's natural habitat. It says "Waltham" on the face, although the clockwork on it didn't work when I found it in mom's basement, so I replaced it a couple of years...
