Buying Vintage

[ArrowCollarMan]

I got my license and a car and I now have access to stores that sell vintage. Yesterday I bought this tie:

I want to date it around the early 1950's...but I'm not sure. Its a bit worn though as you can see...damage in a couple areas, but I like it anyhow. Interesting tie.
Must...buy...more...vintage...

Cold Water and WOOLITE! Pretreat the spots.

I dropped it at the dry cleaners. Was that a mistake?

Acording to an online article (Google cleaning ties) they have to put it in with the gentle fabrics (in a bag) and pull it out before the spin dry reaches its highest revs or the old fabric may disintergrate.

Whoo hoo! Buying vintage is so much fun but look out it can be very addictive! Happy treasure hunting.
