I usually wear all my ties but I think I might just leave this one as a museum piece.

Just noticed the original price tag on the tie above. Isn't it about time we brought back the ten cent necktie?

It's been forever since I've posted here. Vintage ties seem to have dried up in my neck of the woods. So I was excited to find this new old stock 30's tie from my former employer of 20+ years. They were having a 5 bucks a bag sale at the thrift store so I was able to toss it on top of all the...

Amazingly enough, given Los Angeles' history of destroying its past, this place still exists at 6421 Whittier Blvd, East LA. You can get your hair done here but you'd probably be hard pressed to find a tamale these days.

Gorgeous looking instrument! Hard to believe you only do this for therapy and fun. I'm sure you could make a business out of it if you wanted.

Simply stunning. I would love to spin some of my 78s in that room.

What an evocative photo! I always enjoy the sense of family history your pictures bring.

Here's one that compelled me to buy it. I paid a bit more than my usual $3 limit but it still was about the price of a boring Walmart tie so I had to have it. I worked for JCPenney for 25 years so always happy to acquire a new Towncraft.
