    FS: 1930s & 1940s German ties

    I have a number of old German ties that seem to have come out of East Germany (many of the batch were labelled to companies in the DDR). However, these appear to be earlier - so they have survived some pretty turbulent times. They aren't in perfect condition so they are priced at £5 each plus postage and packing.

    Tie 1: No label - 41 inches long - probably 1930s (I am reluctant to sell this - but it just doesn't suit me)


    Tie 2: No label - 49 inches



    Tie 3: No label - 50 inches - cotton



    Tie 4: 47 inches




    Tie 5: By 'Felix Lips, Leipzig' (I am told that post 1945 East German ties would not have a company name of this type, putting the tie pre-1945) 52 inches


    link to close up of the tie: http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...s/IMG_2260.jpg

    Send me a PM if you are interested (paypal preferred for payment).

    P.S. With every order, I will throw in a bonus tie - just tell me what colour/pattern you prefer.

    Here are some more:

    Tie 6: no label - 47 inches



    Tie 7: no label - 51 inches



    Tie 8: Kreuz Bauer Krawatte - 50 inches




    Tie 9: By PERO (a company that still makes menswear) According to their website, the company left the factory at Weissensee (in Berlin) after it was destroyed in 1945. That would, in theory, make this tie pre-1945. 47 inches



    Same deal as the other ties

    Uhm sorry. I can't see the PM's so I did think nobody would want the ties and asked a friend.
    Reminds me of situation with the palm beach tie last time. BK kindly offered it to me afterwards but the confusion was avoidable...
    It would be much easier if buyers would answer to the thread AND write a PM.

    If Lucky Kat was first he should get the ties. I will share mine with my friend and everybody gets some... Ok?


    PS: Of course it is up to Two Types. I just want to make it easy.

    There seems to be some confusion. I've double checked my PMs and I'm afraid I did not receive Luckykat's PM about the ties. As a result, I had already accepted Floey's offer. I can't go back on that, sorry LK.

    So as it stands:
    Florian: Ties 1/2/6/8/9
    Skyvue: Ties 3/4
    Lucky Kat: Ties 5/7

    LuckyKat - I have a couple more from the German ties, I'll PM pictures of them later today.
