The shiny brown tie is from the early 1960s.


The wool knit tie is from the early 1980s.

Yes, I would say that Marc is right on...

 

[Quigley Brown]

Marc's got it correct.

Thanks guys! A shame they are not "true" vintage, but I greatly appreciate your expert insights.

Are the leading California artists still painting ties?

This has to be one of the coolest ties I've found so far. I bought it on a day at the thrift store when I didn't have my glasses with me and couldn't see the design all that well. Just thought it was a nice black tie with a subtle stripe and a little logo at the bottom.

A closer look later revealed that the logo was a military fighter aircraft and between the diagonal stripes were more fighters in black-on-black.

I did a bit of research and found that Dubai '91 was one of the largest aircraft and arms fairs in the world and a major marketplace for middle eastern countries.

I'm hoping that one day when I'm on an international flight somewhere, someone will recognize the tie and ask if I was at Dubai '91 - so I can reply cryptically with something like, "Well, yes, but only in an advisory capacity. Unfortunately that's all I can say because I'm bound by the company's NDA. You understand, of course..."

On another hand painted note, my wife just got through soaking my horse tie, previously posted, in oxyclean. The results are pretty good but one small stain didn't come out. Its on the edge and reaqlly doesn't get seen much so---I am wearing it anyway and if anyone notices it I can blame it on my 3 year old. lol lol lol

Hello,

Although the greater part of my ties are vintage, they are from the 50's and 60's mostly. I have acquired a number of older ties recently... today I wore this one:

It is a short tie as it is obvious. Detail of the labels:

How old would you date this tie?

Three immediately-wearable specimens taken out of a box my grandmother just found and gave to me, full of my grandfather's old ties:

Thoughts on this tie

What are your thoughts on this tie?

High School biology class

It looks like protozoa which have been stained to show internal cell structures. But, it's not a bad tie.

Picked up today. The red/black tie is made of... accordion fabric? and sports an NRA label:

More from my grandfather's collection. The striped blue tie on the left is probably from the '20s or very early '30s:

Those are very nice, esp. the ones in the bottom photo and the one on the left in the photo right above the bottom photo.

PS I still haven't gotten your sand-colored suit adjusted ... perhaps this weekend.

Bump! Pics a few posts above.

Could anyone bring some light to the dating issue? I have searched and have found some threads about Union clothing labels, but none about neckwear-specific ones.

Is there any thread (or a different website) about dating ties by labels, length, material, etc, that I may have missed?

Regards!
