The maker is CWS (Co-operative Wholesale Society; The Co-Op). I believe "The Gannet" is the model/style.

Never heard of Gannet. British maker? At any rate, I like 'em!

At any rate, I'll bring the necktie in question to the Queen Mary event for all to see and judge!

That will settle that question. Seeing it in person would probably be better that is for sure.

Here are the ones I spoke about earlier with a few others I had laying around mixed in.

You had these "laying around"?? If you're giving any of these away at the QM Event, I'll gladly be a receipient! (Especially the eyeglasses specimein...)

Well, they were laying around. Imagine what the other 1,000 or so look like.
I didn't say I was giving away these. I said I was going to bring them as samples.
The eyeglasses one was a pretty good catch. I have never actually worn it. I'll have to wear it tomorrow. I thought you might like Bottoms Up better.
The green artichoke, pine cone tie on the far left of the second photo is one of the most unusual Palm Beach ties I have seen.
The ukelele and hula girl is one I like a lot as well.
I bought the flamingo from the son of an ex Disney artist. She painted the Flamingo on the tie.
You can have the thin brown tie next to the Bottoms Up if you want. It needs pressing and cleaning---not to mention its greatest flaw--it is too thin.

Got these a week or so ago - just getting around to posting pix. Thin, yes. '50s or '60s or other, you decide. But the squared end one is sort of interesting, no?

 

[HarpPlayerGene]

Here's one I got when road-tripping recently. Seems '30s, dontcha' think?

{It's shown here being worn by a display so I could take good photos of the suit you see peeking in the pix. A flawless contemporary Hickey-Freeman suit in 42 Reg. which I'll be offering for sale... }

Great collection! It's so fun to see other's collections. As many as I have I don't see any similar to your's at all. I really like the dark blue one 3rd from the left with the spiral thingy. Looks like a piece of DNA or something.

a few bright ones for spring...

Thanks for your generosity ...I'll take it!

I tend to think late-'50s (especially the square-bottomed one), but they could be even a bit later...At any rate, I like 'em both. How many inches are the widths?

 

[Widebrim]

Yeah, very likely '30s. Nice color combination and design.

Ok, I have to check if I still have it. It was cold last night and I had the fireplace burning. It might have accidentally fallen in. lol

Ah, you are only seeing about 1/50th of my collection. If I tried to take pictures of them all, It would take quite some time but you know how it is.
The spiral is actually embroidered onto the tie. It looks like it was quite a bit of work and likely done after the tie was purchased. It is labeled Botany brand Wrinkle Proof. The other Botanys that I have come in contact with never had such elaborate detailing.
It might be DNA of a guy who knew what he wanted back then.

I am going to have to get my hands on that book. Where did you get yours?
I think the brand name on that one is Ricky ties.
