At the thrift shop again today. This might be my oldest tie yet. No labels, where would you date this one?? 40's??

30s for sure
You have to be careful there because the war years ended up being a continuation of the 30s when it came to ties and a lot of other clothing. Rationing and such made ties less likely to have liners and such like after the war on into the 50s. They were also the same length and width for the same reasons. It is tough to tell without all the necessary tags on them and many of them were removed. The 20s ties are easier to tell by the difference in construction.

I understand that. But I'm sure its 30s because of the design on the brocade are ART DECO indeed.
I PM'd you Pheabus

But we will never know the truth. All that matters is that it is a rather lovely tie.

In that fabric, and that pattern, I'd wear it whether it was made in 1930 or 2013.

looks, feels, and is constructed like 1930s tie = a 1930s tie.

if it looked like a 30s tie but constructed like a 40s tie then I would Agree.

now back to topic and Show us some more awesome neck ties! :)
