Title: Litwinn Neck Tie Re-Nu-Er?
Post by: brandijo89 on December 30, 2012, 01:20:05 PM

My SO bought a box of junk at an auction, and we found a Littwin Neck Tie Re-Nu-Er in it. Still has the box, the tool heats up really well, shockingly.

Very curious what date these are from, and how much they go for now a days? Google search doesn't come up with anything really.

Attempting to attach a picture. Hopefully it loads!

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

By looking at the cord and plug style 40`s or 50`s !!  Couldn`t find anything we could check except yours !! You did put this on another group didn`t you ?? Ebay had one before but evidently had been removed !!

No, this is the only antiques group I have posted it on. I was thinking it would be 50's or so. I am finding a couple different brands of them, but nothing from Litwinn at all.

Figured it out,, just google "necktie re-nu-er" and the name is Litt Win,, not spelled as one word !!
Or,,, maybe not !!

Nothing. I've tried all versions of spellings and different phrases.

Wondering if someone has seen it IRL and has any experience with it, price wise.

Found lots of electric items with inventors/mfgs with last name Littwin...but not hte tie Re-Nu-Er.  So, wasn't patented by Littwin. 

Agree with price range Mart found.
