I've been searching for vintage yellow ties and I found a couple of nice old Swiss silk ties. They both needed washing, unfortunately - even in cold water - the colours on this one ran a bit. Not too bad though:
The other one survived the wash unscathed, which was a relief!

Congrats on the finds. Hate it about the colors running, red is notorious for it. Looks pretty serviceable still, though.

Very nice Fastuni. I especially like the fabric of the black & grey one.

Autumn leaves?
You're full of surprises.
It's a nice one though.
Here's some geese flying south to keep with the fall theme.

not sure of the date, but something rather 20s about this label:

That's a great one. This one appears to be from the very early 1930s

That one is a very nice fabric! It has a somewhat Asian vibe to it, the way the cloud-like parts of the design are shaded.

what tips you off to 30s rather than 20s ?

Maybe because of the more-even shape, compared to 1920s and earlier Four-In-Hands?

The material looks like a stiff rayon weave, very similar to a couple of my own from the very late 20s-30s.
All the late 20s pieces I own and those that I have handled also have the stitching and label on the neckband as oppose to the label on the tips (some exceptions arise though).
I also see what appears to be a hint of the selvedge on the stitched over edge on the backside and the overall design on it has a early 30s feel.
So I would say yours lands after 1927 or so

the standardized shape we see today and on this particular neckties was around since the 10s, but without the resilient construction that was introduced in 1923 they wear destroy upon wearing a couple of times. I have some early ones where the seam twists from the center to the back. Very interesting and a bit hard on the necktie.
