Great looking ties JP, Tommy, & CCJ.
Congrats on the new finds Joe, and yes I'm with you on the colors, I find a lot of those shades too.
Thanks Annixter.

Interesting. It looks knot planned, but a short tie at that.

What really sells the tie for me is when someone lays it on dirty bricks with some mud in the grout line nearby.:eusa_doh: Let me guess, the description reads somethings like "Comes from a clean home. Ready to wear."

I am guessing it is knot planned.

Dirt sells. You didn't know that?

Today's tie in the field: 4" Arrow brocade. I must say, the brocades are great on a sunny day.

in action

it's subtle but wild with sunlight on it, can't quite capture the true effect here.

Nice clean looking tie. If I wore that as a knot planned tie, it would be a shortie like the tie Bob Hoskins wears in Roger Rabbit.

I picked up a silk Palatina tie for 25 cents at the local Goodwill today. Love it.

Tie the short end really short. I did that today with the tie I wore. It was pretty short but I made it work.

Nice color combination, and rather "busy" at the half-way mark...

That isn't half way. That is just below the knot.

What do you suppose the ages are on these? The fish tie is 54" and the rooster tie is 53".

The marlin tie looks early 50s to me, the rooster one older. Both are great finds, especially the fish one.

I made myself this tie. I based it off of bold look ties from the late 1940's. I used old sheets for the fabric, and I used iron-on nylon adhesive to hold it together. It's a bit out of proportion, and I drew on the wrong side of the fabric.

Dinerman: That's a splendid haul. There look to be some very early ones in there. I'd be interested to see more.

Well done.
