^^Like the top hat, gloves, and cane one!

 

[Dinerman]

That was a thrift shop find. Doesn't get much more hand painted.

 

[Dinerman]

Most of the collection. There's one accidental double inclusion in there, and I still have a stack to go, but there's the majority.

 

[Widebrim]

^^Great specimens. Who says that the north-east isn't a good area to find vintage neckwear?

 

[Quigley Brown]

From an estate auction of an elderly medical doctor a ways back. This hand-painted has 'M F & Co. All Silk' on the reverse. Marshall Fields most likely.

Sorry, I meant I'd love to see a linen tie from this era (20s-40s), duly labelled as such.

I'm surprised in the 500+ pages here we haven't seen a vintage linen tie.

(1940s linen shirt, linen jacket by me)

Sweet ties both of them but I really love the first one.

After several years of not wearing a tie to work, last year I was inspired by a coworker who always wears one every day (except when the thermometer hovers near 95 as it has lately). So I've resumed the habit.
After checking my vintage tie collection, I realized that a good number of them were a little past the point of regular wearability, so I went on a tie buying campaign on Ebay. I have found that the vintage clothing stores here in New York show no mercy when it comes to prices, and the Salvation Army and other thrift stores have gotten wise to vintage, and don't carry real vintage at all any more.
I think there's one I paid $25 for, but tried to make a cut off of about $20 for all purchases. Some were as low as $7, and the average was about $15 I'd say. It's a long time since I've gotten a good vintage tie for $1 or $2 or $3. Anyhow, here they are, grouped in sort of half assed order:

This is a little fuzzy. They're rayon crocheted ties.

and one label:

Three early wool ones:

and a couple of their labels:

I found two Palm Beach ties, by Beau Brummel. One presumably 40s, and the striped one from the 50s. I really like the red and yellow one:

Labels:

 

[dhermann1]

More. The one at the far right is a Haband.

Label:

Still a drop in the bucket compared to some, but they're keeping me respectable so far.

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

Good collection. A nice mix of bold /flashy ties and some calm ones. Seems to fit every occasion. I really like the Palm beach ties.

 

[herringbonekid]

i have a tie with that very label. i believe it's 20s:

 

[dhermann1]

Very nice. I guess they're actually knit, not crocheted.
Yeah, that's what I was going for, a good usable diverse slection. But I could easily go nuts collecting gorgeous designs that blow my mind.

I am a great fan of horizontal stripes. The colour and style remind me of this tie by 'Old Town':

It's one of my favourite ties. It has that Edwardian/1920s schoolmaster look.

Respectable is good...I especially like the bottom three, and the spiderweb one in the top batch.

Man, that is a collectible and a half. :eusa_clap

 

[Two Types]

Tootal 'Standard Quality' (1930s/1940s):

Tootal 'Red Quality' (1950s). this is all cotton rather than the more usual rayon or rayon/cotton mix:

Tootal 'Black Quality' (1950s):

made by Grenville for 'Meakers of Piccadilly':

Here is another Grenville tie...this one is interesting because it is a "Four-way" tie, both ends are the same size, but there are 4 different patterns, so you get four ties in one

 

[Widebrim]

^^Love those!

You get a lot more time before you have to dry clean the tie too.
