Love that ad.

Wild and untamed:

Nice! Is that the way the tip is supposed to be, or is it just folded under?

It is folded under or some such thing. You know I am not big on square bottoms.

Here's two I got yesterday on way home from work at a local charity shop, both are wool, one is a knitted Italian item c 1960's? the other Two Types may like is a 'green quality' Tootal item;

The italian one made for/by 'Cyril Castle' has some moth? holes to both ends though this extends up only an inch so I can easily shorten and re-sew it .

The Tootal is as new but I needed to iron it due to being screwed up in a box in the shop!

 

[Two Types]

I like them both. I'm a big fan of those knitted, square end ties.

As for the Tootal: I am always amazed at how many of those ties still exist in unworn condition. Just as I am always amazed by the range of colour variations.

Here is one western themed one. If you can date it I'd appreciate it.

It is 3-D. No labels or any reinforcing canvas. That cardboard there is just for display in shop. Where I found it still has few more so those are unworn.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Still has a few more, you say? Put me on the list to buy one from you, if they're not expensive, and if you can get back tot he shop.

Can you show the thin end, and any liner or rolled edge detailing? That'd be useful for dating efforts.

p.s. See your emails!

 

[Chrome]

Stupid me, showing only part and ask for ID. Like I'd show car door and ask when was that car made and by who.
Baron, It wasn't cheap compared to US/UK vintage ties and compared to 70's ties this was really expensive. I liked the look and suits fine with my H Bar C suit

That Wembley/Garden of Eden tie is neat!

 

[Widebrim]

^^Agree. Here's from today, no label. Leaves are made from paint and coralite:

Nice one! Getting kind of 50s thin there.

It is funny when you consider that the tree is likely the tree of knowledge.

 

[Widebrim]

From today: c.-early 1940s, no label, about 46". If you were in the Army, you may associate the motif with the insignia of the 7th Infantry (Hourglass) Division...

It is now. I paid 62 cents per tie for over 100 of them. Is that cheap enough?
