Also - does anyone make any modern ties that are a fair repro of the Art Deco/vintage style? If I can't find a decent vintage tie I'd be more than happy to wear something close...

When looking on E-Bay, you can use some descriptions to zero in on ties that are more along the vintage type. Look up: Ties 1940's, Ties 1950's, Ties Hand painted, Ties Art Deco, Ties Geometric. This will get some interesting groups and you can figure out the variations people will use as descriptive language.
MODERN !!!! I have found some great ties at the 3 DAY SUIT BROKER, in the extra long ties they have some STACY ADAMS ties that come with matching pocket squares, and they are mostly in the Geometrics camp but with a great vintage styling.
Hope this helps!
SIncerely,
Oh yes, I have seen some of their ties and patterns they offer. They market most of their ties to the Zoot Suit guys here. I've seen some that are very deco but, with a modern twist. The colors they use are not very true to vintage that I find but, they are definitely the better looking modern ties to buy and so are Tommy Bahamas. Since I'm able to find vintage and some times I pay no more then $3.00 for one tie, I tend to only buy vintage mostly because I want to wear a piece of the 30's or 40's. If you've got a real vintage suit and you want a tie to complete the look, a vintage tie in my humble opinion is the only way to go.

I just won these on ebay for only $9.99! And the reason why I wanted these is for the one palm tree tie on the far left!!! Those go for $30-$50 these days!
Ebay is good for ties if you know what you're looking for.
