FREE Vintage Tie Contest

[Marc Chevalier]

As a "thank you" to all contributing Fedora Loungers, I will be giving away one vintage Golden Era necktie per week for the next several months. (Shipping will also be free.)

This is a contest. In order to win the free tie below, you have to answer correctly the following question. Please do not PM me with your answer; post it right here in this thread.



And the question is ... which famous Golden Era actor/filmmaker is hiding inside this costume?

If you answer correctly, your prize will be ... a beautiful early 1940s geometric tie in raw silk. Condition is excellent. This tie would match perfectly with a dark blue, light grey, beige, cream, or white jacket and trousers.

Good luck!

Is it,............

Charlie Chaplin?

 

[jamespowers]

It has to be since that is what the picture says.

[Marc Chevalier]

Be careful! I've been known to play tricks with words ...

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Yes and no,......

I was prepared to say that I "cheated" if I had won Marc's contest, after right clicking on it to save it for analysis in my PC.
However, Mr. Chevalier, sage character that he is, is no doubt aware of this fact?
Also, it's really hard to make out a face inside the costume,....any face.Could be anyone really.

Ok, I'll give it a shot

I'm taking a total shot in the dark - part of my head's saying there's a slight resemblance but most of me thinks it's not, but could it possibly be Charles Boyer?

 

[Brad Bowers]

I actually think I see Boris Karloff. Maybe a few more glasses of rye will help decipher this...

[Wolfmanjack]

I'll guess that it is Lon Chaney.

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

It's a tough conundrum for sure.

Rather looks like two faces to me. One on the left looks like a 3/4 profile of,.....Hitler!? And the one on the right looks like,.....????????[huh]

But then I could be looking at the wrong part of the image all together.

 

[Wolfmanjack]

Another guess and then I'll quit: I think this is Herber Lom in the role of Napoleon in the film The Young Mr. Pitt (1942).

 

[WEEGEE]

Eyebrows???

John Huston?

 

[Dalexs]

Dang, I just noticed Maj.Nick Danger beat me to it.

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

So, therefore I concede any and all prizes to you.
My "answer" was merely the result of right - clicking on the image to save it and thus seeing the name.
I have no claim to victory here.

Actually, I did the same thing, except that I also looked up the rest of the info on the internet.

So I will concede to you. You cheated first!
