sotonmate Posted 20 July , 2016 Share Posted 20 July , 2016 British Home stores first came into existence in 1928. I would say that the tie was made for Government contract by a manufacturer, it does look like BHS but must mean something else, such as British Hospital Supplies. It has the standard Government Property Arrow and year of manufacture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Upton Posted 21 July , 2016 Share Posted 21 July , 2016 There is a well known dealer on a large internet auction site who frequently offers these for sale. I personally would not come into contact with them even using any sort of convenient long protuberance originally for boating purposes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
