Necktie worn by Ira Tucker Sr., ca. 1950. Creator: Metcalf Neckwear Company.
Ira B. Tucker (1925-2008) was the lead singer with the American gospel group The Dixie Hummingbirds. Tucker was with the band for 70 years, from 1938, when he joined at the age of 13, until his death. The tie is made of a silk-like material with a “photo image” landscape of haystacks during sunset. A tree with orange and red leaves in autumn is present above the hay stacks, and dark clouds are found towards the top of the tie. A circular logo in the silk-like material on the verso bottom has the text “INDIAN SUMMER / COLOR PHOTO” in white. The tie has been lined with a silky white material and a thicker woven white material. Black ink handwriting on the interior of one of the folds on the verso reads “TUCKER”.
