Swap Your Vintage Ties!!!

[Papperskatt]

I've got a cotton Tootal "Red Quality" tie that I'd like to trade for another "boring" tie.

 

[Two Types]

So, a straight swap, this one ...

... for this one?

JP: Did you ever find it? The leaf tie is still waiting to make its way to you?

 

[Burma Schave]

I like your persistence, TT. Keep at it.

Would either of these interest you? They are both French rayon ties:

Annixter - sorry but I'm afraid that one got snapped early!
TT - the striped one is spoken for I'm afraid, but the hand knit is yours. I like fairly subdued colours, in wool or silk (or tebilized rayon  ). Generally the more 'British' patterns.

do either of these interest you? They are both British. The blue one is by 'Regal Aire' and is most likely from the 1950s, the red is by 'Vardoc' and dates to the mid 1960s or maybe later.

Here's one that I would consider swapping. It's by 'Bluestone' and has a cog design - a good tie for any engineers among you. What I really want is a striped Palm Beach tie or something in a similar style:

TwoTypes - that blue one looks great, I'll take that one if that's alright? PM me your address etc.

The one on the right is really cool, I'm happy to trade my Tootal tie for that one.

Here's a couple. Both the same apart from colour, I think they are a Rayon weave. Measuring in at 50" long and 3" wide at the blade. No labels to speak of. TwoTypes - the blue one looks uncannily like the French one on the left you posted.

 

[Two Types]

I'll take the red, please (if I can find something you want). What about the red with stripes that i posted above?

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Righto TwoTypes. Regarding the one you posted - it's OK but I'm not a fan of ties with the frayed edges. I've got a few already and I don't really wear them. Let me know if you find anything else

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Some more.
This I believe is silk, unlined, 52" long and 2 1/4" wide at the blade. No labels, very supple fabric:


These are two 'Suprama, Rhodia' ties - both unlined, both 50" long and 3" wide, and both with the same labels (I've just flipped them for the photos). They aren't in fantastic condition - the darker one has been pressed poorly and will need a little attention, and the lighter one has a little fraying at the small end. I've tried to read up and I think 'Rhodia' is an old form of cellulose acetate used by European companies - presumably very similar to rayon, and these ties certainly do feel like that.




I don't mind swapping both these Supramas for one nice one, or for two other 'fixer-uppers'.

Thanks!
Eddie

The blue tie is going in the post today. Since I don't have anything else for you at the moment, can I please have the red squares tie, rather than the red and green knit?

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

That's fine TT - I'll post it tomorrow. Also, I should mention that that knitted one is actually closer to a magenta than red - perhaps the photo hasn't conveyed that so well. D'you still want it?

 

[Two Types]

absolutely

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

It's in reserve for you then Let me know if you find anything.

 

[Two Types]

Papperskatt & Eddie - the ties arrived safely. Thanks

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Glad to hear it.
