'40's pin-ups tie

[byronic]

help please, many years ago i was the proud wearer of a blue silk necktie that was tastefully- but also slightly racily- adorned with '40's style pin up girls (clothed of course!), it was much admired at parties and weddings, though understandably not quite so popular at funerals.... however, a house move and a somewhat less than dedicated removal team meant that it went missing, never to be seen again. do any loungers know where i could buy something along those lines? the shop i bought it from closed down a long time ago.

Ebay is your best bet. These just recently sold for not that much, a bargain really.

Although they can be a bit spendy-imho-there are currently several ties of this type from this vintage dealer I've done business with:

I have nothing but good things to say regarding the transactions I've personally had with AV, although others here on the FL may disagree, as I am aware of at least one person that had an issue with items purchased from them.

I found one at the Goodwill. Mine has a nude inside the lining, damn racy nude at that.
It is a pretty fun piece of neckwear to have, I'll admit.

Hmmmm....that sounds just the ticket, if it's discreet. pardon my ignorance but what exactly is the 'Goodwill'?

It's a chain thrift store in the US. Like the Salvation Army.

Ah! thanks for enlightening me B.F. i enjoy traipsing round the local charity shops looking for hidden treasures and knowing that my not-so-hard-earned shekels are going to a worthy cause.
