Here's some ties I picked up today.

Brooks Bros. tie. 52" long. 3" wide. Probably late 40s or 50s.

Vicky Davis. 50" long. 1 3/4" wide. Probably 60s.

Murray's Taggery Shop Nantucket Island. 51 1/2" long. 3" wide. Probably 50s or 60s.

Blue striped tie. 53" long. 3" wide. Probably late 60s.

Olive striped tie. 52" long. 3 1/2" wide. This one is tricky, but I'm guessing very early 70s.

Red woven tie. 51" long. 2 1/4" wide. Difficult to date to be honest, but I'm guessing late 60s.

that first late 40s/early 50s tie is actually early-mid 50s. Maybe circa 1953-1955, because neckties began to lose their boldness and crazy patterns and become more conservative and narrow (some would say boring).

I have a question for fellow loungers . What would be the width of a 40s square end knit tie ? I know knit ties are usually narrow or skinny but 40s ties never are would it be 4 inches like a standard tie or narrower?

they're fairly narrow, if you look in the few fashion illustrations that feature knit or square end ties. Here's a link; http://www.thelifenostalgic.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/1940s-mens-fashion-trousers.jpg. third gent from the left has a skinny-ish (skinny for the 40s anyway) square end tie.

Nice finds Bob and Retro Spectator.

I agree with Bob, the Vicky Davis takes the cake.

Found these two last night. The checkered one at Goodwill and the older one at the DAV Thrift.

Cavalier of Louisville, 100% Polyester, 53" x 3-1/2". There were two of them, but I bought just one (perhaps they were for a uniform?). There was a young lady that found the other shortly afterwards (while I was digging through the shirts that, for some reason, Goodwill cannot separate by size). She was very excited to find the tie. Made me smile.

As I checked out at the cashier a "meth momma" in front of me complemented me on the tie. My wife was not amused.

Herman's (Herman Tailoring Co.), Resilio silk, 46" x 3-1/2". At first I wasn't going to get it as it was fairly dirty and had a hole worn into it. Since it was from a local store I had to save it.

Not sure the date. The company was around from 1885 to 1930 (the last ads I found). The Resilio tie first started in the early 1920s.

From 1924 on it became accepted to cut the fabric in a right angle to the weaving direction instead of parallel to it – and this method is still used today. The American Jesse Langsdorf came up with the idea and had it patented under the brand name Resilio. Tie tailoring has changed little since then. The products only differ in quality of material and inlay, the quantity of outer fabrics used and the amount of hand labor. http://www.ties-necktie.com/ties-history.php

Thanks Dale. Maybe the checkered ones were for "Big Boy" managers.

Nice, Bob! I love the Herman's for the complexity of pattern and colour!

Thanks Matt! I just wish the condition was better.

Over the years I've had a few favorite ties, but this one from Nordstrom has remained my absolute favorite for some 26 years.

Sorry, you can't show a tie with Mrs. Oregon in the photo 'cause no one's going to notice your tie.

And finally this Donegal Tweed woolie. Unfortunately the moths also found it irresistible. I like it enough that I may actually try my hand at reweaving on it. Glenshane made in Ireland.

Awesome finds Michael!! A solid lot of winners. I'm a big fan of that Regal, what an amazing pattern.....and I'm more than a little envious of the Pilgrim with the quails on it. Congrats on that haul!
