The ball is fully three-dimensional with panel stitching detail, set within a circular surround that acts as a pivot point between the two bar arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clip mechanism slides smoothly and holds with good tension. The \"Stratton's Imitation\" mark on the reverse is Stratton's own notation for their gold-tone finish — not a quality downgrade, simply the maker being transparent about the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks with a classic silk tie or a knit tie. The slim bar suits a standard or slim tie width; it sits flat and doesn't catch when buttoning a jacket. A piece for someone who likes to wear an accessory that says something specific — in this case, football.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Tie Clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: England (Birmingham)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Gold-tone metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: approx. 5.5 × 0.8 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarked: Yes — \"Stratton's Imitation\" stamped on reverse bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Stratton's of Birmingham (signed on reverse)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Figural, sports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent · Spring tension firm, finish intact with very minor surface wear consistent with age, no dents or damage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stratton's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54121437266257,"sku":"RR-0429","price":5.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0846\/6667\/9633\/files\/2026-06-22_12.20.32.png?v=1782160910","url":"https:\/\/therareroom.co.uk\/products\/vintage-strattons-1960s-gold-tone-football-tie-clip-figural-sports-signed-mens","provider":"The Rare Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
