(1) Vintage 1950’s ‘Military Academy’ Youth Tie

Super cool recent find! Purchased from the original owner who wore this tie during his attendance of a military academy during the mid 50’s.

Tie Condition:

This particular tie up for auction is in Very Good Original Condition!

Rest assured all of our ties have been professionally cleaned removing odors, stains and blemishes and are then carefully steamed with properly rolled edges. Our dry cleaner is one of the top vintage clothing/wedding gown restorers in So. Cal!! That said, it is not unusual for them to completely and carefully disassemble each tie..WOW! Prior to cleaning, original components, i.e. lining, stitching and tie material are often separated for spotting, repair, treatment and finally cleaning of each component prior to reassembly with the original stitching. The ties are then custom tailored back to original configuration with ends to best V proportion and finally a proper steam treatment carefully rolling, not pressing, the edges.

We take pride is these beautiful pieces of wearable art and want to make sure that we make every effort to properly restore, preserve and clean our ties for the BEST possible result and the new owners enjoyment.

As mentioned, this rare and quite collectible tie is in Very good original condition and still very presentable! However, despite best restoration efforts, this tie is probably best suited for a costumer, prop master or vintage display, not the purist collector. Although not very noticeable, there is some very light yellowing/discoloration on inner silk linings. This tie still has a beautiful sheen and the spine stitching is excellent however, there might be light evidence of either moth, knot burn or moisture stain blemishes. This tie measures roughly 42 1/2” long and is 3 1/2″ at widest point.

All ties are a traditional Rayon/Silk/Canvas common during the 1940’s and 1950’s.

Best Regards,
