You are definitely before the end of WWII there. Nice find. :eusa_clapAt the thrift shop again today. This might be my oldest tie yet. No labels, where would you date this one?? 40's??

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.30s for sure

I am sure they still had some of that material laying around for quite some time.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 not in truth. It could well have been put together and sold in 1941. That would make it a 40s tie.But a thirties pattern, in thirties fabric, without identifying labels is - to all intents and purposes - a thirties tie.
It is a nice tie that has survived. I agree. If you want something similar from 2013 then there is a thread here somewhere where you can order one---same construction.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.
Check and see what they have.If I found the right fabric in that fantastic chevron pattern I wouldn't hesitate.
