Tie signed by Ernest Hemingway and his circle of friends in Spain during the Festival of San Fermin in Pamplona in the late 1950's. This time in Pamplona is documented in ''The Dangerous Summer,'' Hemingway's last work, co-written by his best friend and editor A.E. Hotchner. Black and white men's necktie is signed ''Ernesto Hemingway'' in black and bears other signatures in blue including that of his wife Mary, ''Love - M. Hem.'' Tie is also signed by Juanito Quintana, the real man on whom Hemingway based the character Montoya in his celebrated novel ''The Sun Also Rises.'' Tie measures approximately 19'' from knot to tip. Near fine. With a COA from A.E. Hotchner which reads in part, ''Ernest Hemingway's last published book, 'The Dangerous Summer,' contains a section about the week we spent in Pamplona, Spain...On one of those nights, we decided to dress up and have a proper dinner at Pamplona's best restaurant. For the occasion I bought a souvenir necktie which I untied during dinner and passed around for autographs on its surface. The signatures of Ernest and Mary are discernible along with a few of the others. I have also written about that week in Pamplona in my book, 'Papa Hemingway' (pps 210-219). Both books contain pictures of the event.''
