Ker-ching!
Will you post a picture of yourself wearing that tie with appropriate '50s attire? Whippett or fez on top?Feraud said:There were a couple of good guesses based solely on the pic. It is a vintage tie., approx 49 inches long and 3.5" wide.
Here are the labels.
I guess it is from the 50s. It reminds me of certain theme ties I've seen in advertisements from that era.

I'll eventually get a pic up of me wearing it. So many ties, so little time..Sefton said:Will you post a picture of yourself wearing that tie with appropriate '50s attire? Whippett or fez on top?

Doran said:I can see maybe wearing it with a 1960s narrow lapel suit and red circular glasses. It could look pleasantly freaky. I cannot see wearing it with a 1930s or 1940s combo, personally (which is the era that I usually affect in my sartorial habits).
