That last one does look late 20s for sure. It makes me think of Egypt.

Another nice one HBK. Great colors. The little bit of texture is a nice touch also.

thanks Damian,

here's another 20s-30s one:

As much as I hate to say it, it looks like another one of those "20s does the 70s", but of course, we all know that the 1970s made these designs much more garish (and thicker).

Mid 20s

 

[dh66]

Outstanding!! The top one is stellar but the repeal one on bottom is truly an awesome piece of history.

 

[DamianM]

I do have a friend that has one of those in red and much better shape

 

[dh66]

The wet one or the space one?

 

[DamianM]

the wet one.


Here's a resilient construction 20s tie of mine

 

[herringbonekid]

nice !

 

[dh66]

Yes, it is. I dig the crazy pattern.
How wide is that tie? I picked up a couple recently I suspected were early/mid 50s but now I'm wondering if they are older. One has the pattern woven in like that.

 

[DamianM]

If it doesn't have the label on the neckband or stitching around that are then its probably isn't.
Width doesn't defy the age of a necktie and sometimes neither does length.

 

[DamianM]

i don't know if I posted this one before.

late 1910s-early 20s
measures 5 inches wide.

Labels are on the end. I wasn't thinking 20s, but rather 30s/early 40s. They are constructed similar to the ones HBK posted.

I freely admit my interests lie primarily post-wwII, I would appreciate any weighing in from you pre-war gurus.

And I remember those vibrant colors on that one DamianM. Very nice.

On the mark, late 30s- mid 40s
