50s Vintage Atomic Print Neck Tie Black Pink Brent Montgomery Ward VFG
This early 1950s necktie checks off all the boxes of atomic fabulosity. The rayon jacquard fabric has a woven pattern that reminds me of airplane (or fan) propellers. The print features oval motifs that suggest a vinyl record (lp or 45) flanked by hard candy discs with a vaguely African mask feel. Colors are pink and cream against a black background.

CONDITION: There is subtle color fade giving a faint reddish ombre undertone to the black background on the upper 2/3 of the tie - the bottom front of the tie, seen when worn, is closer to a true black. No stains or other issues noted.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
