A kid's tie, three skinnys and a "pin-up" from yesterday's thrifting. All less that $1.00 each.
Kid's clip-on. 10-1/2" x 1-1/4".
No-name plaid/chess. 54" x 1-1/4".
Regal, acetate/rayon, 55" x 1-3/4". (excuse the wrinkle)
Botany, square-cut, 53" x 2".
Dyers Hand Tailored Sets, 51-1/2" x 4-1/2". Not your normal hand-painted "pin-up". She looks 1940s to me. Not sure if this was a business out of a home, but the current listing for that address shows a small abandoned house and several obits for the Dyers list that address.
Edit: September 29, 1976 -- "MRS. DOVIE A. DYER Mrs. Dovie A. Dyer, 93, of 2408 Lister, died Monday at a nursing home at 5900 Swope Parkway. She was born in Henderson, Tenn., and had lived here 57 years. Mrs. Dyer owned the Dyer Tie Company, 2408 Lister, from 1940 until she retired in 1963."
That's a neat tie! I've never seen one like that.Here's one that I had actually passed by several times; it was so garish looking (in my honest opinion) that I simply didn't contend that it could be vintage.
However quite recently I was brushing it aside to see some other ties, and felt the fabric. It immediately had the right 'feel' and so I looked at the construction which further solidified that it was vintage.
As for the age, I'm not exactly sure but I'm guessing around 1930's? Any ideas?

Detail:
Hey I'm not being definitive Bob! Selvedge did carry on into the thirties but was just more typical in the earlier days
these things are always a patchwork of knowledge that we all contribute to in equal measure!
