Show us your TIES

Okay, maybe we're not on the same page...I was trying to figure out which was the 98 cent Towncraft tie, not the toilet scrubber...Or are you saying that they are one and the same?


Uh, no. That would be a travesty. :eusa_doh: ;)
The towncraft is the brown flower tie if memory serves me correctly. 49 ties are a lot to go through. :eusa_doh: I am glad to do it for $5 though. ;)

The two on the left are soaking if that gives you any idea about the ties. ;) :p

Finally Got A Tie Rack

I snagged 2 tie racks at local antique shop over the weekend. One was plastic probably from 50s and this one late 40s - early 50s. It holds 30 ties and screams industrial design.

Nice. I see that you've got a few dead stock, too. I sold the four that I had; they are not always easy to find. Is one of those a Wembley I see there? And the hand-painted one, is it of a peacock?

Tell me about it. Obviously you don't have over 1,000 to store---yet. ;) :p
1000! :eek:
The most I ever had was about 250. And that was overwhelming enough. Now it's thinned down to around 50. for now :rolleyes:

50!? Gee, I wouldn't know what to do with such a small selection. ;) :p
I've collected them not only from shopping but I received quite a few from friends----one a widow of a former Bechtel executive. There is nothing quite like a Dior tie from the 50s. :D
