'Vintage' ties.....again

I know a lot of people collect ties around the world, over here in the UK ties are and have been generally a bit more conservative than those found say in the USA, and hand painted silks are pretty rare in fact I've never seen one for sale other than on internet auction sites.
Here's a few more of my recent and regular-ish finds mainly from charity shops.


A Lochinvar woolen tie

Not vintage per se but a 1980's 'vintage' in style cream and two tone blue raw silk tie made in the  
UK for 'NEXT' 


A 'Country Life' woolen tie made in scotland in three shades of brown. 




A 'Terylene' straight knitted tie from the 1960's made for Harry Fenton of Shaftesbury Avenue SW3, one of the original 'Mod' outfitters.  


Polo Prince by 'Favourite' another woolen tie 



Three found in the same day, one 'Neatwear' terylene, one 'Tooke' made from imported fabric(Rayon?) and one 'Christian Dior' paisley silk, the red Tooke is probably one of the oldest ties I own.



A Saxony pure wool 'tassle' tie. 

Three more a blue 'terylene' a woolen 'tartan' and a silk? St Michael steel blue grey one
