For some reason they do seem to be found in multiples. I have bought vintage lots of ties and invariably there are two or three in there if you find one.
The tie of the day is:

 

[Two Types]

Made by Em-Blem. Probably British, 1950s.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Haband through the years.

Middle 1930s:

Early-middle 1940s. I've seen this same horse 'n hounds tie in multiple different colourways:

Late 1940s to Early 1950s. note how the map in this one gains Michigan, compared to the early 40s one above^^.

 

[Fastuni]

Sloppy design or can we assume that they didn't do business with Michigan for a time?

 

[Widebrim]

Haband through the years.

Middle 1930s:

Gee, Baron, that one looks familiar...

 

[Widebrim]

And to think that there waqs a time where there were stores that sold only ties and there were thousands of choices that we would die for now.

Man, don't get me depressed...Just give me a time machine for one day, and about $1000 in 1940 currency.

$1000 in 1940 would last you for a whole year.

$3.50 would get you a top of the line one. But you have to wonder what the stars were wearing. Was Rodeo Drive around back then?

They had plenty to choose from anyway.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Did I get this one from you?

Gee, Baron, that one looks familiar...

 

[Chrome]

Haband through the years.

Early-middle 1940s. I've seen this same horse 'n hounds tie in multiple different colourways:

I have that one too, mine is bit darker color combo.

 

[Two Types]

1950s Tootal 'Blue Quality':

 

[Widebrim]

Did I get this one from you?

Yes, you did, mein Herr...Glad that you bought it.

 

[Fastuni]

Three new US ties ... they all could need a careful pressing.

Bold-Look one - unlabelled.

"Beau Brummel" - late 40's.

Unlabelled feathery tie... I'd say late-30's to early-40's.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Are you sure? The label looks earlier than that.

"Beau Brummel" - late 40's.

 

[Fastuni]

Well, I think you are right. I confused some things here. The back of the label reads "Trademark Reg. Resilient U.S. Patent 1447090". The patent is from 1922.
I confused the "Trademark Reg." with the (R) in Circle, which was AFAIK introduced 1947. This isn't the case here though.

 

[Quigley Brown]

Here's one of your typical bold ones from Cutter Cravats...

[Baron Kurtz]

Yes, that's the Resilient Construction trademark. They still make ties using that method today! It really is a wonderful innovation. I wrote a moving paean to the resilient Construction in The Chap a few years ago. I would say your tie probably dates to the middle-late 1930s, with that Beau Brummell label variant.
