That 'Hub' one is great!

agreed. that's a corker.

 

[BobHufford]

Thanks all. I was pretty excited to find "The Hub". Such a great tie.

I'll echo everyone else. Nice finds, and that zigzag Hub is a prize.

 

[Socially Distorted]

Wow..that certainly is a 'statement' tie and in the right way as well!
A few more sedate numbers from me all picked up for a couple of quid each. late 40's tootal special quality which is really nice, a 40's Irish Poplin that has some nasty damage but luckily its right where I knot it. The slim black quality

tootal looks for all the world to be 60's but is rayon which seems to jar a little, perhaps it's 50's?

 

[dh66]

More nice finds. I really like the green one!

 

[BobHufford]

I really like the green one!

+1!

 

[Socially Distorted]

Say, thanks guys! The 40s tootal is my personal favourite. The poplin although a very expensive tie in it's day (as they are now!) is, for me, just not a great fabric. I don't know why but it just feels 'wrong'. Weird!

 

[fedoralover]

Vintage clip on. Not sure if its 40s or 50s.

Metatron - Thanks for the compliments. That tie on the left you have there is exactly like one I have myself - does yours have a fabric content label? I can't seem to work out what mine is made out of. I'll post it at some point to compare!

Sorry, I know this is from centuries ago, I haven't been as active in this thread as I could have.
No fabric label! I guess it is either polyester or a wool/polyester blend. Somehow I doubt it is 100% wool

I am in Cyprus at the moment, and I really didn't expect to find wool ties here, but nevertheless, after a trip to a couple of second hand shops:

One is Lochcarron, and the other is by Belvedere (made in Austria). The Belvedere is unlined.
very pleased!

 

[esteban68]

Two good finds!

 

[dh66]

Nice finds, Megatron!

 

[dh66]

Metatron......stupid autocorrect

 

[MelancholicNostalgic]

Another find, I'm guessing 1930's (maybe slightly earlier??)

I really like the "Cravating DeLuxe" label!

That's a really nice tie MN. Very 'gothic' looking.

 

[dh66]

Nice find MN!

 

[Metatron]

Nice, tie, it has that 'mysterious' palette that I associate with early 20th century accessories.

My tie collection .

 

[dh66]

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.

 

[BobHufford]

Ditto on that far left one.
