ALL TAKEN!
AI acquired these ties from a very reputable source (a respectable member of one of my alumni associations) for a reasonable amount (i.e., they weren't cheap, but they weren't overly-expensive either), with the intention of passing them along on B&S. However, while I'm familiar with older models of ties made by the manufacturer that these were supposed to be from I'm not that familiar with the more contemporary ones. So, because I wasn't convinced that the back labels belonged on these (I suspected they should only appear on other lines of this maker's ties) I started a thread to check their authenticity, and, alas, they're not genuine. I should note here that these were sold to me in good faith, ans so no complaints there!
Now, I DO NOT under any circumstances knowingly profit from fakes of any kind, and so these are NOT for sale. However, despite their nature these are lovely ties; the quality of the silk is very high indeed as is the quality of the lining and construction, and so it would be a shame to destroy them. So, if you buy anything from me at all--even a single tie (I'll be posting a lot more tomorrow)--and would like one, please let me know and I'll send it along. I'll cover the shipping cost, of course.
This seems to me to be the best way of dealing with this, and making some good for others come from what might otherwise be an unfortunate situation indeed!
Please PM with interest!
