^^Wow, that is a trip! Modern, but I like it. Who's the manufacturer?

Sheesh - the tie thread had fallen to the bottom of page two! What's the world coming to?!

Let's see if I can build a little suspense here:

 

[Tomasso]

Where you allowed to inspect the ties before purchase or was it a pig in a poke?

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

That bag was all 'tied' up tight around the box - - but are you kiddin'!? You bet I opened it up and dug around before plopping down ten WHOLE dollars.

If you use the online HPG Thrift Shopping calculator, you'll see that $10 to me is like $1,257 in Tomasso money. lol

Couldn't get a rise out of anyone, huh?

Oh well, after wading through about sixty godawful polyester abominations I was able to arrive at these keepers:

There were also a couple dozen decent all silk contemporary ties, and three fifties/sixties skinnies. Might be able to sell that lot and break even on the deal...

Not bad. The palm tree one is nice. Good luck in selling the 50s-60s ties. I can never get much for mine. [huh]

You got some nice ones there, Gene, especially the gazelle and palms ones (the latter with a Florida tag).

You know who he can sell them to...

That still won't win the ugly tie contest though. It is actually quite unusual for a Palm Beach tie. Probably an older version as it only mentions Goodall.

Get me this dope's address. I have plenty of 70s ties that I would like to get rid of.
I have some 70s memories I would like to get rid of too but.....:eusa_doh:

 

[TrenchGuy]

I am ashamed of this, but at the moment I only own one tie...
Should I even bother posting a picture of it?

Btw, how do you guys store your ties? Some people say they should be rolled loosely and some say they should be hung. I personally hung the tie overnight to get rid of all wrinkles and after that I roll it loosely. Am I doing it right?

Yes!

Yes, tie makers will tell you to hang and roll but I've hung all but my silk knits for years with no deleterious effects.

It is in the top three ugly ties in my closet!

I would hate to the ugliest one.

I should dig out those uglies and give you a scare.
