To all the collectors of vintage American ties. Included you will find a photograph of something that I think is very rare for all collectors of vintage ties. I aquired this piece years ago with numerous ties from the Rudy Valee necktie collection. This particular tie, as I understand was specially hand-painted for Rudy Valee to be worn at the premier of his movie "The Santa Fe Trail," starring among others, Ronald Reagan, Erol Flynn, and Olivia De Havilland. The tie is mounted with the original Warner Bros. Santa Fe Trail list of people who are passengers of a special train which was going from Los Angeles to Santa Fe, New Mexico, going to the premier in December of 1940. There is also a map of the Santa Fe Trail, including pictures of the main actors in the film. Included also is Rudy Valee's world premier tag for the film, and two pictures with Rudy Valee and his autograph. This tie was the only piece that Rudy Valee have had mounted from hundreds of ties that he had in his collection. Sincerely, Mariusz Olbrychowski.
