Hello everyone, recently joined and would like to dedicate my first post, for sharing three of the pieces that make up my collection of approx. 70 ties and will be hopefully uploading photos of the rest soon, as I have free time to do so. All three were purchased from local Goodwill stores and I believe are from the late 50's or 60's. (Please correct me if I'm wrong on this!) The tie on the far left, has no manufacturer label and was originally sold by "Smiths Clothing Company" in East Chattanooga, TN. The second, is labeled "Terylene by Ben Pulitzer, Woven in Vienna." and was sold in a Julius Lewis department store (I believe in Memphis). Last but not least, the third, which also bears no makers label.

Welcome to the Lounge, it's nice to meet you! Hope to see more of your collection. I've always liked wearing ties, and I've been building a collection in just the past 2 years. I'm relatively new to the forum myself, but I think I've gotten some decent experience in dating vintage ties.
Judging from the labels, construction, pattern and colors, I'd say late 50's - 60's is about right.
