Inspired by this thread, I stopped by my neighborhood Salvation Army thrift store, just to see if I'd get lucky.
Ugh. Nothing older than the sixties, and not a single tie I'd be caught dead wearing.
I'm convinced that thrift store employees and volunteers in NYC know their stuff, and the good vintage ties never make it to the rack.
I've said it before, but the idea that $5.99 is a high price to pay for a quality tie from the 1930s or '40s is just mind-boggling for this New Yorker. Here in the Big Apple, such a price would be a outright steal. Anything under $20 is a bargain.
