Show us your TIES

[John in Covina]

I just bought these, mostly for the one on the right.

The oil derrick one is really cool! Out by me on Brea Canyon Road near the 57 freeway there is a section of oil field in the hills that define the south side of the valley that have those classic style (steel not wood) derricks up still.

One day a designer sat down and decided to create a tie with gushing oil wells...

Nearly a week and no new ties posted!? :eusa_doh:

I have this early '50s beauty by Brill Cravats winging its way to me right now...

Just got these ties I ordered the other day from American Vintage. They green and blue ties are from the 1920's and the red one is from around 1950. The green one is 100% virgin wool, the whine colored one is knit and the last one which is deadstock and has the origional cardboard tag is silk satin.

I love the blue one.

I love the blue one.

The blue one happens to be my favorite of the three.

Dig that graphic. Has sort of a southern Spain/castles-in-the-air thing going on.

Yes - I thought so too. It seems to have been part of a series called "Globetrotters". Just the thing to brighten up a gloomy Manchester summer. I had my eye on it for a few weeks. The bulls, or oxen or whatever they are have a sort of "cave painting" feel about them. I should receive it over the weekend. I'll post some better pics of it when I get it.

Another vote there for the blue one. Very nice.
I have two of the Tricot Cavalier and I think Quigley has at least one.
Here is a link to the patent for the locked-in construction if you are interested.

I'll take one of each in every color.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

And in every price point, i'm sure. Greedy so and so …

My latest lot of 27 came in. 24 useable from the 20s-early 50s. $30 all in including shipping to UK from Nebraska. One absolute lunatic 20s pattern that resembles nothing more than the Pac-Man ghost. pics to come.

Yes, I forgot to mention all price points as well.
Not a bad average for 27 ties. I want to see the Pac-Man one.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

It's a pretty stylised Pac-Man ghost (or maybe it's more correct to say the Pac-Man ghost was an elaborate version of this tie?), and maybe i'm pushing the boat out a bit, but i'll get a pic or two and let people decide.

Love Cohama, and what a price range, for that time...

 

[Baron Kurtz]

1920s, green swirls.

1920s Pac-Man ghosts. Or maybe something from a Lovecraft tale.

Late 30s (Union label dated 1937) coloured blocks.

^^Like them all, BK, but especially the first two. The "Pac Man" one also appears to have a floating eyeball thing going on...
