Show us your TIES

A couple I acquired recently. The left one has no tags and an odd texture that feels man made but durable with no lining. I doubt either are golden era, but I got them for 1$ and they look like they've never been worn.

The pattern on the Cervantes is nice. I would wear it.
It looks like a design you would have seen in a brocade tie from the 30s.

^^I was thinking the same thing.

Of course.

Yeah, for .50 cents I'll nab a passeble tie for the look I'm shooting for. It makes a small knot too which adds authenticity

A bird brocade! And I bet you paid just 50 cents for it.

Fifty cents? I wish. No, I had to pay a buck.....

With or without sales tax???

You knew that already...

That is one great necktie, and it's a Towncraft.

I knew but I just didn't know there are so many.

okay, it's been a while since I've posted photos, so here we go.

The bow tie has no labels, but the first red from the left is a Paracas, made from Alpaca Wool.

The next red is a 1930s tie no label,

The herringbone green is a Marquis Super.

The next green is a townecraft and so's the blue one after that.

I love the blue one.
How is it up there? Ready for the dark all day times?

First off I know not all of these ties are vintage but quite a few are hand me downs from my dad and the rest are Goodwill finds. I'm interested in any comments and possible ages on them.

Left is a Louisville Rhodes, age unknown, presumed to be 1980's
Right is a Lombardi I purchased in Italy in the 90's

5 Stitches on the Louisville Tie...

Left: Unknown (1920's?) Levy's Jacksonville, Fl.
Center: "Sir" by Botany (1950s?)
Right: Pilgrim Cravat (1950s?)

Left: Freedom of Choice (1970's?)
Center: Countess Mara (1960's?) Tagged Mark Chrisman Naples, Fl.
Right: late 70's from dad

The Countess Mara has 2 Stitches...

3 Hand me downs from dad...

Left: Scottish Wool, date unknown
Right: Untagged frayed edge wool tie

Dad gave me all his ties last year since he wasn't using them anymore, I cherry picked the ones I like best although I don't wear them as often as my vintage ties.

James,
we were on the dark days about a month ago, now we're on the pitch black days.

I think that you're pretty much correct on most of the dates. The unknown tie from Levy's, though, appears to be early-'50s. I have a tie that is a close copy of your Pilgrim butterfly example; very nice. The hand-me-downs appear to be '80s.

Like the two Towncrafts (JC Penney's)!

I wore the blue towncraft to the office Christmas party, received compliments on it all night.

They just don't make ties like they used to and people notice.
Pitch black?! Oh Geez!
