Horse and Rider - Show Jumper - Vintage signed STRATTON Tie Clasp or Clip

Here is a gold plated vintage tie clip from the Birmingham manufacturer Stratton who are well known for their high quality tie pins, cufflinks and compacts made from the 1930s onwards.  This collectable tie pin features a detailed image of a Horse and Jockey jumping through a large golden horse shoe.  Dating from circa 1960s - 1970s but with a timeless style,  this vintage tie clip is very smart!  Offered in good condition, it is 7cm in length by 3cm at its widest point.  It fastens to the tie by a slide and clip method and is marked to the reverse with the words - 'Stratton's Imitation Made in England' to the back of the clip mechanism and the words “Imitation Made in England” on the back of the horse shoe. Obviously Stratton felt their goods were so much like real gold in appearance that they felt the need to say they weren’t actually gold!  Interestingly enough in the wearing it would be hard to tell the difference once on your tie or cravat! Horse shoes are considered to be a “good luck” symbol could this bring you the luck you need at your next show, race or equestrian event?

Ties first became part of a fashionable gent’s attire in the 19th Century.  Naturally since then there have been many items of jewellery introduced as tie-control devices.  Some of the earlier ones were patented and some innovative ideas were introduced in the form of a pin, tack, clip, clasp, bar, slide and chain.  All of these stick pins, tie pins, tie chains, tie tacks, tie clasps, tie bars, tie slides and tie clips were designed to do one simple job: to prevent a tie from flapping, falling or moving about and to ensure a neat appearance for the wearer. Tie accessories are made from all kinds of materials, predominantly metals so you find them in the precious Gold, Platinum and Silver as well as in base metal.  Tie accessories are usually decorative from conservative styles to the weird, wacky and wonderful.  Tie accessories follow the trends of their era so are good examples of a particular style or fashion – for example – Art Deco or the 1960s.  They are often set with a precious jewel such as a pearl, diamond, sapphire or ruby; a lesser stone or often the very smart mother of pearl and onyx are favourite inlays.  Tie accessories, in the same was as ties themselves,  can be used to show affiliation to a particular regiment or club or activity or sport, can be commemorative tokens and souvenirs.  Tie pins and clips can be made of all kinds of materials for their decorative element such as leather, wood, jet, and early plastics like bakelite, lucite and celluloid.  There is generally a metal element to them in all cases so that they are easy and practical to fasten.
