I wonder what will be showing up in the thrifts after the recent gift giving?

I picked up a plain maroon wool today that is Forstmann's Charmeen by Superba. I think Forstmann's was one of the bigger wool mills in the country, not sure what remains of the company.

Hunt49, a classic look. Well done.

Retro Spectator and Michael, I'm not sure exactly what it is that I like about the super short wide tie look, but I dig it. A lot.

A rather sedate Rhodia sees the light today. Fabric woven in Italy, I believe acetate.

Got these lovely ties for Christmas. One of them (the deep navy blue one) is pure silk from Saks 5th avenue. My faves are the squirrel tie and the brown with pink streaks and green vines

VintageEveryday that is,a nice lot!!! Someone thinks highly of you. That squirrel one is a real treasure, but they are all completely top shelf and any one of them would've been a rocking gift. Congrats!

I have a question for fellow loungers . What would be the width of a 40s square end knit tie ? I know knit ties are usually narrow or skinny but 40s ties never are would it be 4 inches like a standard tie or narrower?

Those are some very cool ties. Unusual colors and great patterns to boot. Nice gift.

A little bit shabby, but I couldn't resist a happy spaniel chasing pheasants. Or maybe they're quail. Either way, I dig it.

That's a beaut. I've got a couple pheasants but you can never pass up another good one.

I feel exactly the same way.

Also ducks, quail, peacocks, songbirds, flamingos.......

This tie has to be one of the first Dacron ties ever made. At a first glance, the tie appears to be a 40s or 50s tie because it is stitched as such and it is 51" long and 3 3/4" wide. Oddly enough, the tie is made from Dacron. I did not know Dacron was around in the late 40s-early 50s era.

Edit: I just looked Dacron up on Wikipedia and it seems that the name was registered in 1952 if I am not mistaken. That would mean that this tie is probably from 1952 because later 50s ties were much more narrow and sewn differently.

No name wool / silk blend found at the thrift store this morning. 52" x 1-7/8". Also a couple of tie hangers.

 

[Retro Spectator]

Here's some ties I picked up today.

Brooks Bros. tie. 52" long. 3" wide. Probably late 40s or 50s.

Vicky Davis. 50" long. 1 3/4" wide. Probably 60s.

Murray's Taggery Shop Nantucket Island. 51 1/2" long. 3" wide. Probably 50s or 60s.

Blue striped tie. 53" long. 3" wide. Probably late 60s.

Olive striped tie. 52" long. 3 1/2" wide. This one is tricky, but I'm guessing very early 70s.

Red woven tie. 51" long. 2 1/4" wide. Difficult to date to be honest, but I'm guessing late 60s.

Nice finds RS! I really like the Vicky Davis woven wool with the color flecks.
