I thought you collected Palm Tree ties.
No, but I know a lot of coconuts...

Pennleigh very bold look tie. Not often my style, but this one's not too bad for this era.

^^Oh, yes, I do like that, Baron. Is it silk, or perhaps acetate? How many pounds would a hand-painted job like that typically run in an English thrift store?

Seems like it's acetate to me. It's not marked as to fabric content.
A London thrift store? Anywhere between £0.99 and £3.00. Maybe up to £4 if they have a "vintage" section and someone who recognized it for what it was. The vintage shops, even the huge warehouse ones, are all asking £25.00-£40.00 for these.
I don't remember where I got this one. it may very well have been from a thrift in Indiana. Probably $2.00 or so. Or possibly $1.00 if it was a half price day at Goodwill.

^^Up to forty pounds at a vintage shop?! Here it would likely be no more than $30 (about 25 BP) at said establishment. At least it would be considerable cheaper at a British thrift store...Glad that you bought it at an American thrift store. BTW, does it have a California label on it?

Nope. The only label is red "Pennleigh" on black background standard rectangular maker's label on the skinny end.

As for the prices. Yeah, the vintage shops ask an awful lot of money for these. They were quite popular for a while, with some people actually stupid enough to pay those prices.[edit] this for not very collectable or rare examples.
(These same vintage shops, btw, regularly have 30s and 40s belted back jackets at £9 or so). Who knows what they're thinking?

A few 60s era ties
Painted initial, no label
Two Palm Beach. The one on the right is especially nice.

^^Yes, I like that particular Palm Beach tie, Feraud, and the painted one. Does the latter feel/look like acetate?

I really like the geometric sailboat(?) and the whimsical palm tree. The tie in the top photo on the right has some unique colors to it.

By golly Quigley, that does look like a sailboat. I never noticed that....
