Who wears tie bars anymore ?

This is what a well dressed FORD salesman wore for a tiebar, in the early fifties, to sell you a new FORD automobile.

Mike, I have a tie bar, and cuff link set of the 1955 T-Bird, that was given to me by the owner of a Ford Dealship. If you colect this sort of thing, you can have this set. They have never been used, and there in the original small box.....Ed

Yes, I do collect this kind of "stuff" ! I appreciate your offer. If you e-mail me, I will send you my mailing address. What do you want for it ?
I was going to give you a message anyway. You had mentioned, in the "ANDY GRIFFITH" thread about seeing "OTIS" in a '34 Roadster. If you check page 7, item #122, in raceron1120's "OLD FORD PICTURE SOCIAL CLUB" thread, he posted a picture of a '33 Cabriolet and mentioned that the driver looked like "OTIS". Perhaps it was a cabriolet, instead of a roadster, and this is a publicity shot for "OTIS".

That tie bar is nice. I have a few pins from the 60s & 70s, nicest one I think is an original Cobra Jet tie pin. I still use it occasionally.​

Here's a couple of pieces I picked up at local garage & yard sales. ​

Glass is a '53, 50th Anniversary piece from the Dearborn Stamping Plant, Metal Stamping Division. About 5" tall and like new. It resides in the display case:​

This colored glass tray/plate from '66 looks like a hand-out possibly for submitting a suggestion. Cleveland Stamping Plant, 1966, about 7"x9":

​

I've passed up many other pieces, in hindsight I wish I'd have bought them. They usually go for little $$$. There used to be so many Ford folks around there, this stuff is/was quite abundant at flea markets & yard sales. ​

I have five of a more generic FORD drinking glass. I was not lucky enough to find them at a yard-sale, but probably paid too much at an antique shop. They are 4 5/8" tall.

Neat stuff! I love the first tie bar. I wonder if they had anything like that pre-war?

Not Ford, but all I have from my Buick factory rep days.....
