^^Wow! What was this thing about the Bold Look and amoebas??[huh]
It seems there was some odd trend back in about the late forties to late fifties in tie design that featured abstract renditions of various protozoans. I have seen countless ties from the general era with designs that are reminiscent of something one would see under a microscope in a sample of pond water. Or maybe this was just The Atomic era version of a "paisley"? [huh]

I think your last assumption is viable. But the question is, did Shemp wear any?
