Nice collection. I'm with them on the left one.

Nice start Jamesmac1801! Welcome to the fun, I'm sure if you spend much time around here, that collection will get completely out of hand. I really like the one to the far left in the photo.

Yup haha thanks I like that one too. That's my oldest one so far my only 40s tie . I learned some of my tie dating tricks on here and from one of my friends.

All right.....Tapatalk rebooted, now I can post pics again. Here's a few I rounded up while I was out of the loop.

First up....Fashion Craft with interesting dude in a turban playing a guitar to a deer....

and this no-name one

These two were part of a lot I posted some of awhile back. They were soaking in oxy-clean at the time. It helped some, but they still got some rough spots.

Next up, a couple of skinnier 50s models.

Scored this Wembley at a local antique mall for $2. I dig the cool boomerang pattern.

and a thrift store score, another unlabeled one.

This one's got a neat texture going on

And finally, a couple of what I'm guessing to be early 50s unlined handpainteds.

Andre of California with falling leaves.

It came out looking black in the photo, but really its a deep purplish blue.

And finally, I splurged a little on this one, but I really dug it....and if I don't get myself a little Christmas gift, no one else is gonna....

Hope all you guys have been well and have a great holiday, whatever you celebrate.

Great examples in that lot Dale, but that sea horse -- wow!

 

[dh66]

Thanks Bob. Yeah, I paid 6 months worth of thrift store ties for that one, but I had to have it.

Nice finds, Cuz. Really like the haul, especially the first and last. I've about given up around here.

Today, I am wearing my new tie I got for Christmas. It is made by Pilgrim Cravats. It is about 52" long, and 2" wide. I am guessing it's from the 50s, or early 60s.

 

[dh66]

Wow! Very nice RS! A very thoughtful gift from someone.

I was perusing through an antique shop and was about to give up sifting through their assortment of "vintage" 70s/80's/90's ties when I spotted this diamond in the rough...


It was listed as a "1940's Tie," however I could tell immediately that it was much older than that.
How old is my question though. Since I've never come into contact with anything quite this old before, I'm having a harder time dating it.
It is probably the shortest tie I've ever handled, and it was very silky. My guess is it's from late 1910's/early 1920's. Please share your inputs though.

Additionally, it is being sold for $22.50. I don't really have any experience with pre-1930's ties, so in your opinions, is this worth it??? Is it worth more??? Less???
Thanks in advance!

(I included the half dollar as a reference to size)

Nice! Love that rounded end stitching. Probably 1910s 1920s? Looks like when it ties the rear blade will be longer that the front. I have a couple of those rare compared to most. Price is probably right - there's a similar one on ebay for about that much. HBK knows more than I do.

Nice find MelancholicNostalgic. I agree...definitely older than 40s, and fantastic colors.

probably from 1918-1923. here's some similar designs from Montgomery Ward, 1922:

that's a good price too.

 

[herringbonekid]

here's a couple of U.S. knit / crochet ties i just got, both with same label.

"Wilcrest, Full Fashioned Crochet, made on imported machines, Rayon, by Wilson Brothers"

 

[dh66]

Nice finds Herringbonekid. They look to be in great shape. I like the colors, especially the one on the left.

Agree on the lefty. I very seldom see patterned knit ties around here ... usually only solid colors. Nice finds!

[dh66]

Couple of unbranded ones I scored recently

Nice ones, Dale. Really like them both but that red one catches the eye.

 

[BobHufford]

What Greg said. Nice finds!
