Ye Olde Colonial Blacksmith Tie

Woven in England, this silk club tie from the Late Seventies/Early Eighties will bring a little lightheartedness to my wardrobe this spring. Why make a club tie with jumbo sized motifs of blacksmiths?- Or, more to the point, why would anyone choose to wear one?
 Answer: Why the hell not?

This old tie came from the same Bert Pulitzer tie collection as that Rembrandt Blue Boy tie that I showed off last year. These are some weird choices to use as big, oversized motifs to apply to some then fairly expensive club ties.  -Clearly, old Bert was a gentleman and a scholar.
