You're right on that year, Baron, and it was patented by Jesse Langsdorf. I've got quite a few ties with the Resilient tag on them.

I wouldn't buy that tie if it was $15.99!

That's George wearing one, guv'nor...And watch out for that link; the company's prices are hiiiigh...
Square-bottomed neckties were quite popular in the mid-/late-'50s (although they existed before then), and as you can see from your posted photos, were still around in the mid-'60s. They were produced by many companies, but Rooster and square-bottomed became synonomous. I've got quite a few thin ones from the '50s, and are partial to them. They are still being made; just saw one yesterday at a Brooks Brothers or Hugo Boss store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills (just "window shopping").

Ok Jack Benny Jr.
Believe me, I resemble that remark! (Gently strokes his $2.50, thrift store-bought, Bold Look necktie with the bamboo trees design...)

Better be careful how you treat Rochester:

Man, I love that clip!:lol: (And think about it; the joints that Rochester would go to, like [I think it's supposed to be] a department store along the Miracle Mile on Wilshire, are often places that his non-TV counterparts wouldn't have dared to enter back in those days!) And did you dig that Bold Look tie, and the up-turned brim on that stingy?

Of course I noticed the tie and hat.
That is why I chose that one. If you happen to find that tie then I'll take it.

Just had a nice score at the local charity/thrift store. Four 30s-early 50s ties at £1 each …
I wonder could anyone tell me about vintage "Hawaiian" pattern ties - hibiscus, fruit, etc. etc - when they were popular, anyone got any ads(?). One of the four has such a pattern - pretty crushed up but looks like hibiscus flowers. It seems late 30s to me, and is labelled "A Delmar Creation".
I'll get pics once i've pressed them.

As I understand, Hawaiian ties and Hawaiiana in general became popular during the war and after it into the 50s and 60s.

Pretty much so, as regards the shirts. Their origins are disputed, but it is generally recognized that Hawaiian print shirts were first sold under an actual label in the mid-'30s. From what I've read/seen, though, Hawaiian-themed neckties became popular after the war. Delmar is pretty well-known, but you don't see that label as often as Hollyvogue, Botany, and others.

'Big Jim McLain,' (1952) with John Wayne, is a good one for popular Hawaiian-themed men's clothing.

And some bar scenes in "From Here to Eternity." (Quigley, what's up with your new avatar? Quite a change from the previous...)

Just a few ties from the 12 pound tie lot. I think I did ok. This is only about 1/4th of the lot. There were over 100 ties in the box. I still haven't finished counting them all. :eusa_doh:
My favorites are the roses and flamingo. There ae still some great ones to get pictures of. One has orchids and another is a hollyvogue with leather around the perimeter.

That mid-50s one on the left is very sophisticated looking. It would go really well with a couple 50s jackets I have.

That is the best of the thinner ties in the lot. I thought you would like the second from the left in the second picture.
