Identify This Tie

[Sir Dobbs]

I recently bought a necktie at a local thrift store. It seems that I've seen it somewhere, perhaps an old movie. It's thin (about 2", no taper), made of a coarse wool and has very thick horizontal stripes in different shades of brown. The thing that is different is that the bottom has no point, but simply a flat cutoff. Also, the tag on the back of the large side runs vertically, thus making it so you couldn't put the large side through. It is made in W. Germany.

I may sound dumb asking for your idefication of this tie but it's bugging me not to know what it is!

A picture?

"West Germany" would put it to the 50s at the very earliest.

Welcome to this week's edition of 'Wardrobe, Please'. As you recall, we last left our contestant, Baron Kurtz, at the thirty-two thousand mark where he successfully answered the question 'What was the average number of pinstripes on a 1938 Palm Beach suit.' But now he has to answer an even tougher question: Baron, do you want to quit or go on?

the majority of flat-end knit ties are from the 60s, but they had them as early as edwardian times. really need to see a picture to give an accurate date.

It might be a 'Rooster' tie.

 

[Mr Maltby]

Mid to late 1950s. IMO they seem to be less pervalent in the 60s. Enjoy your tie!

Baron, do you want to quit or go on?

As I imagine the funky music from Match Game plays in the background..

Condom.

 

[Sir Dobbs]

Condom.

That's harsh Jack. Very Harsh.

 

[Senator Jack]

Sorry, Sir Dobbs, but I have to blame Feraud for setting me up with that punchline. (See what sort of trouble you get me into, Feraud)

 

[Feraud]

O.k. a round of drinks all around!
