Vintage WWII US Navy WAVES black (or exceedingly dark blue) two piece tie. This two piece style seems to be the more common wartime one (although one piece ties did exist). Some smudges (possibly from an iron), but overall good condition.
This tie was worn with the white shirt, the reserve-blue shirt and the seersucker working uniform. It was worn under the shirt collar with the knot placed at the collar opening and the tie ends tucked under the collar tips.
