1950s or 1960s narrow ties:

The right two look more late 60's or 70's to me. Any labels and photos of the small end and backside?

Interesting. I wouldn't think this is 40's. At first glance, from the cut and pattern, I'd say 70's+. Any photos of the backside and labels?

Duratwill is always nice to find, and Raxon got around in those days. What is the length of it?

From yesterday: A c.-mid '50s tie from Metacalf Cravats. Feels like acetate, with a crepe touch to it.

47 inches.

Here are some links to pictures of ties and a tie clip I recently bought. The pictures are very big. I don't know the widths of the first two, exactly, but I assume these are all shorter than 55 inches, especially the first one. I've put off buying some nice looking ties made prior to the '50s, because of the lengths being shorter then, but I don't mind that anymore. I wear somewhat lower rise pants in general, but I just have the back part of the tie even higher than it may have originally been worn.

Also bought this mid-century tie clip by Swank, and I think I own another plus cufflinks by that company too.

There aren't any label photos for any of the two listings, but here is a back photo of the narrow green one. There aren't any for the lot of three ties.

This tie is narrow at 2.5" wide, and is 52" in length. This could be later than '40s.

The lot of three ties hasn't specified the exact width or length of each individual tie, but the idea is that they are sold with the assumption they will be anywhere between around 1.5" to 2.5" inches, and from 50" to 54" long. I bought three ties from the same seller, last year, as well.

None of those ties look particularly '70s to me, though. I think I can recall coming across a '70s clothing brand advertisement featuring narrow ties (2 inches wide), however, so they were still sometimes sold. I wonder if that was before or after New Wave fashion became a thing.

My newest tie, 30s-40s Wilson Brothers Duratwill by Raxon.

Excellent.

Today's tie. It's one of those tall-men ties of the 40's, so I get practice with a full Windsor knot, which I usually don't use. Wembley tag, 53-1/2" x 4-1/2". Is that wide enough for ya Mr. Powers?

5" would be better but 4 1/2" is close.
The tie of the day is:

Lightning bolts and top hats work well together, don't they?

Well, Philco was a radio company at the time so it was either radio waves or electronic bolts.

 

[Talbot]

Is that knot planned?

 

[jamespowers]

Is that knot planned?

No, it just looks like it. The knot could be mostly blue though---depending on how you tie it.

One of the favorites in my collection, and one I would never sell since it belonged to my father. A San Francisco treat, c. late-50's.
