| The picture below shows a larger view of this Old Carded Thew Shovel Company Lorain Ohio Advertising Premium Neck Tie Jewelry Bar. This necktie bar is old but it is not dated, and the year that it was made is unknown. The bar is one that slides on to a tie. It has the bar section, two chains, and hanging from them is an advertising charm. It is made of a silver colored metal, but it has not been tested for silver. The charm or pendant has a raised image of a large truck with a shovel on the back. The front and back of the charm, and the backing card are marked as follows: LORAIN
THE THEW SHOVEL CO.
LORAIN, OHIO
M. A. CO. ROCH. N.Y. THE METAL ARTS CO., Inc.

MADE IN U.S.A. To judge the sizes the cardboard card measures 3-5/8'' x 2-3/8''. The tie bar appears to be in mint unused condition. The card has some creasing, bumped corners, and some yellowing from age as pictured. |
