Tie measures 60" in length and 4" across at its widest point and has no stains, pulls or tears, only some minor wrinkling in the area where the knot would have been made. This great looking tie is in excellent vintage condition and has been well cared for in its lifetime.

Brief History of Jos. A. Bank:

When Joseph A. Bank was 11 years old he started working for his grandfather. He later spent 10 years as the company's wholesale salesperson, traveling in the South selling pants.

Moses Hartz established a men's clothing manufacturing company in 1905, which upon his death was taken over by his widow Lena Hartz in 1921. Anna Hartz, was their daughter and traveling salesperson for her parents company. Anna eventually met and married Joseph Bank, and in 1922, Joseph Bank joined forces with his mother-in-law and they formed L. Hartz and Bank and the new company manufactured suits which they sold to retailers throughout the area.

The company grew and prospered and in 1940, they located their offices, showroom, shipping and cutting department in a building they purchased on Hopkins Place located in Baltimore. Joseph Bank and his son, Howard, bought out the Hartz interest in the company and formed JoS. A. Bank and Company in 1945.

Over the ensuing year the company was sold and purchased by a number of different companies including Quaker Oats Company. In 1998, all of their manufacturing facilities were "out sourced", so they are no longer manufactured in the US.
