Swap Your Vintage Ties!!!

[Two Types]

Following some vigorous debate over on the 'Show Us Your Ties' thread (which seemed to show up the Atlantic divide between European and American tie fans) I decided to open a thread where people with spare ties can offer them as swaps.

It's simple: post photos of what you have and examples of what you are looking for. Then hold your breath whilst you wait for a PM.

Here we go, on offer I have:

I am looking for something like these (these were ties that Dinerman posted recently and which started the debate):

That first one is awesome! Let me see what I can dig up for you. I am sure I have at least five of each of those. How about bowties in the same material and stripe pattern? I know I have a few of those too.

I would consider a bow tie but would prefer a tie. I look forward to seeing what you have!

i'm looking for a 20s striped knit tie in shades of black / grey / white only (no colours).
if anyone has one they'd like to swap for a bold look tie let's talk.

I am at work now but I will get to it this evening for sure. I have a fairly large collection to look through.

I'm sure you'll find plenty of ties that you think 'they can go'. And think of all those appreciative Europeans that are just waiting for them!

Here's another European who is looking for "boring" 1920s-40s ties (no skinny ties) - solids, polka dots, and small patterns (like the brown tie with floral pattern from TT) are ideal for me. Next choice would be larger patterns.

I'm afraid I have nothing to offer, so I'd be happy to buy some.

TT, if you're willing to sell the brown one, let me know.

I'll post a bunch when I find them. I am sure I have accumulated plenty over the years.

Of course. I will also see if I have any other ties that might be suitable. I will send a PM.

I don't want to keep people in suspense too long. I have a few stock photos of some pieces in my collection. They are an assortment of what I have and nothing specific to stripes but I do still have these:

 

[Papperskatt]

I like that one!

Some of these are nice too.

Unfortunately I don't have any ties to swap, and no money either.

So, a straight swap, this one ...

... for this one?

Let me see if I can find it first. I am pretty sure I still have it and that would be a fine swap---I love getting the better end of a deal.

Well, you know if you feel like that you can always throw something else in

JP: Have you found the ties yet? (or have you found so many that you're trapped beneath a landslide of ties?)

I'll buy or trade for any Palm Beach ties or bow ties.

Sorry about the delay. I have just not gotten the time to look through all the closets of ties. The weekend was fairly busy here for me. Hopefully I can get to it tomorrow and post a few others that I run across in the process.
