Worked across a rich rust-brown ground, a pair of turquoise fishing lines curl and loop down the blade, each ending in a hand-drawn hook trailing a string of bait, with a scattering of loose dots crossing the middle to suggest the line drifting through water. Novelty ties like this were everywhere in the late 1940s and into the 1950s, when hobbies and sporting pursuits became a favourite subject for menswear designers looking to inject a bit of humour into an otherwise plain suit. The satin-finish silk has a lovely soft sheen, and the graphic is simple but well drawn, with none of the clumsiness you sometimes see on cheaper novelty prints from the period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Maker's label: Brent, Montgomery Ward, size 50\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA great find for anyone drawn to postwar American sporting and hobby novelty ties, or for the keen angler who wants their passion reflected in their wardrobe rather than just their tackle box.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood condition.
