Show us your TIES

Wow. Mid 30s ties are my favourite. I have to make pictures of my latest finds.

And here's one HECK of a vintage 1940s (or late '30s?) tie:

In terrible condition, unfortunately. Otherwise, it has so many strengths: a top-quality maker, CHARVET; a very rare, very iconic 'Hollywood studio logo' design; a intricate silk brocade weave with visible selvage. IMO, if this tie were in fine condition, it would have sold on eBay long ago.

That certainly is one collectable tie.

Nope, had to pay a bit more for these.

Finally I have something to post here! I bought a pair of shoes off Etsy, and rolled up and neatly stuffed into the left shoe I found these...

No material label (that I can find) on the back of this one.

"All Silk" Tag on the back of this one.

That was a good buy there. The second one is a little older than the first but they are both great---especially as a shoe surprise.
Some people pack their ties that way when they travel. I suppose no one thought to look. Good for you.

Nice ties. How do they smell?^^

Actually, for whatever reason, the seller threw them in for free. They have their company price tags on them.

Lol! Like brand new leather - which is a big relief. I was sort of wary of buying the shoes sight unseen, but I asked the seller for some extra pictures and the insides looked very clean so I went ahead. Very glad I did.

Ok, free is good too.

GIVE ME A WILD TIE, BROTHER! (A song from 1915. Yes, you read the date right.)


Some may long for the soothing touch of lavender, cream or rose,
But the tie I wear must possess the glare of a red-hot kitchen stove.
The books I read, and the life I lead, are sensible, sane, and mild.
I like calm hats and I don't wear spats, but I want my neckties wild!

Give me a wild tie, brother: one with a cosmic urge!
A tie that will swear and rip and tear, when it sees my tame blue serge.
Oh, some may say that a gent's cravat should be only seen, not heard,
But I want a tie that will make men cry, and render their vision blurred!

I yearn --I long-- for a tie so strong, It will take two men to tie it.
If such there be, just show it to me. Whatever the price, I'll buy it!
Give me a wild tie, brother: one with a lot of sins!
A tie that will blaze in a hectic haze, down where the vest begins!

That has gotta be one of the coolest songs I've ever heard of!
