    With 400+ ties identified we are down to the last 100 or so ties of our big necktie purchase, mostly UK ties covering industry, sport, military and more from the period 1960-2000

    It is getting harder and harder to identify so would appreciate any help and have listed photos of 10 woven fabric logos/symbols for your brains to solve as ours are beginning to melt.

    The wheatsheaf symbol has GRFC below (so probably a rugby union club[​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Any hand painted or 40s - 60s?

    There were a few that were probably 60s, made from crimplene.

    What surprised me was the enthusiasm for old company/corporate ties.

    Handpainted??

    Indeed interesting.

    Hand painted ones were fairly common in the 50s and maybe either side a bit. Cowboys, landscapes, Hula girls... Whatever.

    Hi,
    I thought you were talking about the hand painted naked ladies from the 30s/40s. They were painted on the silk inside the tie so guys could laugh and gasp at what was there.

    I don't have the few hand painted ones handy to shoot for you. I do have a few others that are not really, really old but I like them much and wore one for my Nephew's wedding recently.
