Overview
This postal worker’s tie was worn with New Zealand Post Office uniforms between 1975 and 1987, when the new logo of a crown atop a stylised envelope was introduced to change the face of New Zealand Post. The tie’s elasticised neckband would have been useful for quick adjustment, and easily mass produced.
