Tie sharks and pins don't touch my vintage ties. Those are reserved for 70s ties.
Here's a recent acquisition, never heard of the company before.
Artistic Neckwear Manufacturing Company. A Baltimore company listed as early as 1907 Men's Wear trade journal, even 1890's elsewhere, and as late as 1960.
This tie is 46" in length, called the Super "Ruffle", 20% wool, 80% Rayon. It's has a coarse feel to it, unlike all my other ties.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style.
I hesitate saying any of my ties are that old, but this one does have a totally different feel in the fabric from anything else I have. My gut says it's early 30's, but the tag suggests very late 30's, early forties. The material difference I notice may have something to do with war effort rationing.
^^True about the war-rationing aspect.
From today: Square-bottomed Trimshape by Cavalier of Louisville, with "Locked in Construction." c.mid'-50s, likely acetate/rayon, odd plum/maroon color.
A Dali' tie for a dollar?? I've been trying to find that deal for a loooong time (and I've never seen that pattern before)...The top tie is nice, too.
^^You bum!
