Yeah, it's funny; when I started rummaging through the basketful of ties the vendor had on the ground, I thought I heard him say, "Ties are a dollar." Turned out he had said, "Five for a dollar." !!!

^^Not yet, QB. They likely think that it is some type of tie-dye...

Here's today's, from Michele of California, pure silk, Bold Look period. Great hand-painted details and colors.

Like a lot! I've wondered if the California companies that made these hand-painted ones just gave artist/employees free reign on what to paint on them.

They probably did have free reign on subject matter, especially the more famous artists.

Here's today's tie, c.late-'50s, acetate. I don't usually wear pink, but I think the contrast with the black is pretty good, and I like the motif.
