found this at the Goodwill today (along with several other late-50s square-end ties). Labeled Haband - Sheen Gabardine by Mallinson of 5th Ave.

These came in. Pretty cool. The tips aren't lined like they look, the back of the fabric is white.

i can't think of the term for this but in book binding they often use outer pages that have this type of color swirls just inside the cover. Something about putting the colors on water and letting them float to form a pattern. If the ties are white on the inside they're probably printed like the pages somehow.

I don't know if it is possible to do with fabric, but those look exactly like the kind of pattern you'd get out of Ebru (Turkish water-marbling)

Can any of you vintage tie experts help me date this Nicasio Ortega woven tie? I've looked at their site, and they no longer produce ties. I picked this up--I'm not sure why--and was wondering about its age. I'm not even certain that it's vintage. Thanks.

I brought home my first find in Buffalo. I assumed there would be more vintage in the seven or so thrift shops covering the city, but I was disappointed. I did come across this tie in a Salvation Army. The tag reads, "Resilient Construction Towncraft Deluxe Cravat, Fabric Loomed in USA." I'm thinking early 50s? The picture doesn't do it much justice, but it is a deep purple with the shell-style design in white and a burgundy strip running through the white snaking pattern. The white "shells" have very fine light purple accents inside. I thought the purple had bled over, but it turns out they are little offshoots from the base of the shell.

It has a discolored stain drop toward the bottom and some nipped threads where a tie bar rested, but I think it will do with a vest on. For 99 cents, I couldn't pass it up, although the Woolite bath I gave it turned out to be the filthiest water I've ever seen!:eeek:
