I have a fairly skinny sharkskin effect tie with motif. I'm not entirely sure of date (I hate dating ties, but I would *think* late 50s early 60s)

And before you ask, my camera has broken completely and i am photographless until I can borrom one or take this into the shop next week to fix.

2 labels one is Molyneux [signature style], 5 Rue Royal, all silk

Other is 'Leon Block's' (plus some address I can't read like Thisobaum???, LA)

Resilio - regd. US pat. off. , The Resilient Cravat. This shows up as filed for trademark in '62, granted in '63.

So Mr Molyneux. Did he license his name in '64? And would the label be different?

I realise something like a tie IS most likely a licensed product but thought I'd ask! :)
 
edward molyneux?? 1891-74? born uk of irish descent?

well couldnt have been 64 as he left the biz and retired in 50 and didnt come back till '65,,,he coined the phrase apparently little balck dress with a show of the name in 1930's...l digress, he again reitred after handing over his biz to john yullis a few years kater still in 60's so dont think l'm much help...
