Now that's a swell tie, with great colors, a dramatic pattern that creates both tension and balance.

I like the ties that the pattern sets up something of an "S" shape down the front for a power swoop. Again dramatic tension & balance for me echoing the Ying Yang symbol in a way.

Great tie! Similar to an early 1950s one I sold:

Holy cripes!!! Now that, Sir, is one R-O-C-K-I-N' tie. I'd love to get my hands on one of those!! Never seen anything like it.

 

[Feraud]

That RCA is a rockin' tie. I imagine it brought big $$s.

Yes, it was a beauty, and in mint condition: no fading, no fraying. The main color was teal blue.


Unfortunately, I sold it during a down period for eBay. Got about $100, when it normally would have gone for over $200.

Better than Hollyvogue?

 

[Widebrim]

Better than Hollyvogue?

All right, James. I said "one" of my favorites...I just wore a beautiful, late-50s, silver Hollyvogue yesterday, so you know where my allegiances are.

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Shrimp anyone?

Thrifted this a couple days ago. Only 46" end-to-end compared to 54-1/2" on one of my modern ties. Has that label style and flared small end which are indicative of... well, I can't remember. What IS that indicative of? '20s, '30s, '40s?...

I wish you could see in person the metallic quality of the green and gold/copperish thread.

 

[thunderw21]

^Awesome.

Late-'20s, early '30s?

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Thanks, thunder'. Yep, I'm very pleased to have this one.

 

[Widebrim]

I would tend to say '30s...and it is a real looker.

 

[thunderw21]

...and it is a real looker.

Yup, great colors.

 

[Feraud]

That is a nice on HPG.

 

[repeatclicks]

Ive got about a dozen, but this one is and probably will always be my favorite.

1930s short tie. Ive had at least 3 people who have wanted to buy this one off me!

I can understand why. That is quite solid! Is there a manufacturer's label, and how long is it?
