At a recent stop to a favorite thrift store, I snagged (gasp - not something you should be doing to ties..let me rephrase that) er, acquired three Countess Mara neckties, one of which is a typical diagonal of the early 1960s (best guess). Two of the three have the famed CM logo on the front. The later model does not. All are silk.
Here's a classic diagonal stripe in muted very 1960s colors.
This next tie is a fun take on a paisley, a little wider, and great colors. The logo is there, but well disguised.
Tag from a now defunct men's wear shop, Rutland's in Orlando, Florida
And finally, a tie with no CM logo on front, but label on the back. Love the way the label proudly states "Made in USA", sort of like buying revolutionary "Homespun", to a point. Not quite time to dump tea again. I'm sure the fabric was woven elsewhere.....and these almost look like "hidden Mickeys"
