A colorful springtime tie by Arco Royal. I'm not for sure on the fabric...most likely rayon.

Definitely. So did Majestic and Andre.
And don't forget Hollyvogue...

Hollyvogue made pinup ties?
I have to add Van Huesen Van Cruise editions and Cohama's California Swagger editions for regular ties.

Somebody had posted ages ago how they loaned some vintage clothing to a group doing theater with disasterous results. The costumer made seemstress type changes to the clothes that were irreversibly damaging. The problem with loaning stuff to people is they often have no understanding of a sense of value for what is loaned. It's like wow that looks cool let me borrow it. Then when it comes back damaged the borrow can't understand what the bother is since it's "just old clothes!"
These days I don't lend CD's, Records, Books, DVD's and a lot of other stuff because I have been burned previously. Many people don't replace what they have damaged or lost.

That and somethings just can't be replaced. I don't lend anything. I have given but that is it. I lend my ties to my sons but that means they need dry cleaning after they use them invariably.

A very April showers bring May flowers tie.
Does it say what color suit to wear it with on the label?

^^Love those Wembleys! I'm willing to suspect, though, that it doesn't indicate with what color suit to match it, since I don't think they started doing that until after the Bold Look period.

No, this is a fairly 'modern' Wembley...very late 40s/early 50s.

Had a couple Ebay bucks, so I had to snag this Como art deco tie. Just recieved it today. It may be hard to tell from the picture, but it's Navy, black, olive, silver, and grey. All silk and made in the USA.:usa2:

^^Reminds me of Picasso's work, "The Musicians."

From this evening, a mid-'50s, no label, acetate-feeling tie. The motifs came out dark, but they are actually close to the color of my shirt (as is the "stone" in my tie bar).

From today...
For unofficial necktie Friday:
A beautiful Hollyvogue(!) De Luxe butterfly tie (made in CA, of course), c.mid-'50s, purple background with stenciled butterflies and leaves, decorated with glitter and what might be coralite (ground glass beads). Originally sold by Ray's Togs of Lynwood, a once-middle class area of L.A. which is now pretty much run-down...

^^And it's really not typical of Hollyvogue, that is, I don't think the design was added later by someone else.

Well, now that we can no longer post how thankful we are that Bin-Laden is out of the way...Let's get back to ties...
I just picked up what is one of the most avant-garde examples I've seen from the first half of the 1960s:
First of all, it's not a Rooster necktie, which is what I thought at first glance, but a square-bottomed Wembley! The motifs obviously have to do with fishing, what with the fisherman in action, a fish, and a couple of lures. However, for the life of me, the drawing at the bottom of the last photo surely seems like some type of flying scarecrow out of a Tim Burton movie. Very odd and delightful, feels like cotton. The inside tag says to wear with a brown or tan suit, and I'm placing this neat specimen at around 1965, just as Pop Art was making inroads in the fashion world. Thoughts?
Addendum: Now I'm wondering why there are shells included in the design, since the fellow fishing seems to be doing so in fresh water.[huh]

You are probably right about the date of the tie. The Wembley research that I have been doing gives me the date of 1959 in ads that actually start mentioning the what to wear with tag. You really need to get the book Ties that Blind. There are about 30 pages of ties that I could do without seeing but they even have that car tie that you posted a while back. I don't remember if yours had a tag but theirs mentions the name a date.

I hesitate to post this but I'll leave it up to your imagination. My latest acquisition and the first one of this type that I have ever seen:
