► This is a self-tie or “freestyle” bow tie, (the cool kind you tie yourself). The ties are fully adjustable and are traditional, no hook.
►REVERSIBLE! The pattern is printed on one side – switch it around to experiment showing less of the pattern, subtly peeking a little bit out.
►THE MAKING OF:
We sleuthed the provenance of this vintage screen to the best of our knowledge. It appears these were for small CRT displays/control monitors in the mid-80’s. When fabricating actual circuit boards, silkscreens are used to print etch-resistant inks on to the board to protect the copper foil. Subsequent etching removes the unwanted copper and one is left with the desired copper pattern for conductivity.
LIMITED EDITION! As is the nature of vintage screens, once these screens die, that’s it. (Not knowing the emulsion it was made with, they might hold up for a week, they might last for years!)
