Yeah, the birds is nice. Probably late 1930s, no?

But the one i'm really interested in is the one at bottom left. Ghostfaces inside circles. Red John-esque? (dunno if anyone watches The Mentalist or not)

I have another lot on the way: a bunch of 30 that "were found in a plastic bag; no attempt to press or clean them." There are a bunch there that look great and probably 1930s. I think they're all probably of the same age; i'll post here when I get the lot.

I didn't even notice the ghost faces tie. You can get away with wearing it and nobody will be the wiser.
The bird tie is likely 30s I would wager.
A bunch of 30s ties? Nice find there as well.

More against early 50s acetate ties than Towncraft, really. But … not being a great fan of those early 50s ties, I used to see a LOT of Towncrafts that I just despised from that era.

That's because they were ugly and thin.

So did you join your Christmas club?

They were still wide in the early'-50s, JP, and don't qualify for your landfill solution...

That's true but by the time Leave it to Beaver came along, Ward was wearing landfill ties.

That's why the Bay Area is so bumpy, all those...

Will somebody please post another tie?

^^Not that type of "tie," thank you...

All right, since you asked, here's another bunch of ties from my thrift store finds.

Left to right: Haband, Arrow, "King Size" by Spur, "Sir" by Botany

Left to right: no tag, Wembley, no tag, "The Californian" by Sunshine

That is actually a great idea to get rid of ugly 70s ties. Shoe tie instead of landfill tie.

The bird and leaf ties are nice finds---especially as thrift store finds.

 

[Widebrim]

^^I second it on the bird ties, especially since one's a Wembley. And good to see a Haband in the mix! The company, I think, has not gotten enough credit for its ties produced during the Bold Look period...

Not a bad idea...

I really like the colors and geometric shapes of the Arrow. I first thought it was a Wembley as I have some so very close to this.

Here is one from the back of the closet..

 

[Giftmacher]

So this is my new white tie

Nice one. It looks like a deviled egg tie.

 

[Feraud]

Haha you are right about that. This is one of around a dozen I pulled out of the closet with the intention of selling.

 

[Widebrim]

So this is my new white tie

It certainly stands out with that ensemble, Giftmacher.
