Here are most of the ties I've found in the past week.

What a week!
I like the black and white and pink (or is it red?) plaid one. That type of gradated check is unusual to see on a tie.

The Superba is quite nice RS!.......quite a few of those I'd wear DM!

Wonderful (as usual). There are so many nice ones in that haul!

It's also unusual to see ties from that era which are self-tipped, like that one and the three others on that board surrounding it. I'm glad that one has the NRA tag or the dating would have been fuzzy. My guess would be that that type of construction was indicative of an inexpensively made tie. Much more simple than your standard stitched or tipped construction of the same era.

I've a self-tipped tie of a similar age that boasts the fact that it's self-tipped. They're not bad I suppose, but they feel a bit anachronistic.

Yep, British self-tipped ties always defy me to call an accurate date for them.

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

True! Plus there's usually an absence of fabric content too.

something a bit different; grenadine (and other fancy weave in the stripe) 'Arrow' brand tie, probably 30s:

I really like the various textures of that one, Herrinbonekid. Textile weaving can be an art form, and little snips of it like that tie, or some of the great caps I've seen made elsewhere on the lounge, are great ways to exhibit that art.

 

[Dinerman]

A detail from above.

 

[dh66]

Very cool Dinerman! That one is a real prize catch.

 

[BobHufford]

Congrats on the Dali Dinerman! Amazing what those bring on the 'Bay.

HBK: wonderful tie.

 

[Eddie Derbyshire]

Lovely tie HBK!

It reminds me of one I have. British, and I assume 1930s. No label, but certainly silk. Has a similarly distinctive weave, and colour scheme:

 

[dh66]

Nice one Eddie. Cool weave and great colors as well.

Thanks! I don't wear it very often because it creases so badly.

you need to swap it for a terylene tie ....

Thanks fellas. I'm afraid it is still a favourite TT...
