Cool. That one certainly has a similar vibe and palette. Is it a Techni-Color?
This was certainly a strong subset of '40s ties.

Printed brocade silk. Gotta love that.

Beautiful Regal, Michael! I dig the denim, too. It takes me back to my youth.
My handpainted tie is missing the label. It's lined, though, so I don't think maybe it's as old as yours.

Thanks Dale. I'm guessing the denim dates back to about when I graduated from high school, or a few years later.

I’m a bit curious as to whether these spectacularly narrow bow ties existed as a self-tie or if they were all pre-tied clip ons.
They appear to be very skinny batwing bow ties, but I haven’t found a self-tied version that makes a bowtie that narrow. Seems like you’d need stiff material to prevent the bow tie from drooping.

Something maybe '50s today.

Not quite as wrinkle proof and the label claims.

What a knockout, Michael!! That purple works so well with the greens and yellows, too. Well done.
1950s? 40s?
Have a great day,
Michael

Thanks Dale. I really like this one. Good to hear the purple was making it through, it was looking much more blue on my monitor today than it does to my eyes. And the color wheel is my friend, or enemy, depending on your point of view. Ha ha.
Thanks,
Michael
Oh dear. The thrift store got a nice donation. Mostly new Boss, Zegna, Armani, Burberry and Polo and some tie that I later noticed has a naked woman photo in the liner for some odd reason.
A little research reveals that was a thing and it’s got some collector appeal. Not sure why, but to each their own. I’ll have to sell it before Christie crosses out the nipples with a sharpie.

This is a Robert Talbott Carmel hand sewn tie. It’s very likely the nicest tie I have handled or own. The silk is soft and drapes perfectly. It’s got a decent amount of thickness to the liner without being stiff. It produces a particularly good knot.
Talbott ties are something I’ve looked for and I have a number of Best of Class models, but this one is just lovely.

Quite a haul Dnewma04! I'm guessing the nudie tie is from no later than the mid-1980s...

A post 1950's pin-up tie? I was thinking that was an urban legend...

Dropped off a car-load of garage sale rejects at the local thrift. While there picked up this tie...

Every tie of this cut I've seen was a clip-on, so I'd assume this conclusion. I don't like the square-end bowties that much, I fancy the diamond-shaped ones.

Minimally-lined, and has a mod-syle pattern. Could this one be from the 60's?

Nice one Bob! Excellent texture. I could almost feel it through the screen.

Picked up another Lochcarron tartan. This one is Smith. “Collect all 500!”

I like that one. You might be able to find a last possible date made by searching on Botany Mills. I believe they were in New Jersey, but I could be recalling that wrong.
I like that one too. How many are you up to now of the 500 tartans? I don't seem to find too many around here. I did find this Robert Talbot today, and it made in around my neck for the bike ride home.Picked up another Lochcarron tartan. This one is Smith. “Collect all 500!”
