Crafted by renowned American haberdashery maker Swank, this mid-century tie bar exemplifies classic mid-century men's tailored style. Featuring a clean rectangular frame in polished gold-tone metal, the front surface is detailed with a rich brown leather inlay showcasing subtle pebbled texturing. The geometric linear design delivers a sophisticated accent that effortlessly secures neckwear while maintaining a refined profile.
Swank, Inc. originally evolved from the Attleboro Manufacturing Company into one of the twentieth century's leading producers of men's jewelry and formalwear accessories. The back of the tension slide clip is stamped SWANK, verifying its authentic mid-century manufacture. Built with a durable slip-on spring clip mechanism, the tie bar holds ties neatly in place without damaging delicate fabrics.
This piece remains in very good vintage condition with minor surface wear consistent with gentle historical use. It measures approximately 1.75 inches in width, 0.4 inches in height, 0.5 inches in depth, and weighs 0.05 pounds.
