I've been collecting vintage ties only for about 2 years, definitely lean towards the bold side:

I just wore this one today, got it recently in a tie grouping.

A few I picked up recently:

Am I seeing this right? Are the sunglasses a tie clip? Interesting set if that's the case. Does it look to be vintage or is it contemporary?

I am sure you've seen this one featured in one of the vintage tie books.

For what I paid for it, it should have been THE one in the vintage tie books. :eusa_doh:

The sunglasses slip through a slot on the tie created for the sunglasses.
It is vintage for sure. They haven't made them in many decades.

That's a 50s novelty tie. The sunglasses are removable and just a decorative piece. I owned about 7 of those ties with that exact design in various colors. Call me crazy but I sold every one of 'em. I was watching that particular tie on eBay and it sold at a bargain actually. Those ties were going for $150-$200 over 10 years ago.

A few I picked up recently:

You probably bought all the ones I sold on Haight street. A few were deadstock too. I was so tempted to bid on that red one.

I would think more post-war, kools.

Good thing you didn't. It would have cost me more.

For waaaayyyy over your maximum per tie.
The genie one is better in person actually.

I figured you would force me to do so.

Todays purchase. Always wanted a butterfly tie. This is one of the nicest I've come across so far:

That butterfly one is really nice.

^^Plus one on that. I don't know if, among all my patterns/motifs, I have a butterfly tie...
