;This listing is for a silk tie which was in the ioof masonic collection which I have currently listed.   Off white, slightly darked with age.  44" long x 2" wide at it's widest.  Camden NJ.

It does not seem to be masonic specific, just was in the collection which dates it late 1800s or early 1900s.

the following profile I got from dvrbs.com:

 

SIGMUND "SIG" SCHOENAGLE was born in Vienna, Austria around 1875. He came to America as a young man, and settled in Camden NJ. In 1894 he established a haberdashery at the southwest corner of 3rd and Federal Streets. He then moved to 538 Federal Street, the corner of Hudson Street and Federal Street, where he conducted business for many years. He also became active in the political and civic life of Camden. In December of 1904 Sig Schoenagle was a founder and trustee of the Merchants Republican League along with fellow Camden businessmen Joseph H. Pfeiffer, Nathan Fuhrman, Jacob Z. Blank, Louis Cades, and William Fox. The League had its offices at 808 Broadway. Sigmund Schoenagle had been an investor in the Camden Basketball Association, the parent company of the Camden Electrics in the National Basketball Association, the first professional basketball league. In June of 1905 he sued William "Billy" Morgenweck, who had organized and coached the team. Sig Schoenagle was then involved in promoting bowling in Camden. In February of 1906 Sig Schoenagle took a trip to visit Washington DC, the purpose of which is not known at this time. Sig Schoenagle was a charter member of the Rotary Club of Camden. The first regular monthly dinner meeting was held on January 7, 1913, at the Hotel Ridgeway in Camden. In the early 1920s Sig Schoenagle and his brother William Schoenagle were active participants in the Community Hotel fund raising drive that culminated in the erection of the Walt Whitman Hotel. He placed the advertisement below in the Camden Courier-Post special edition commemorating the opening of the Delaware River Bridge. By 1927 he had a building erected at 544-546 Federal Street. Designed by the Camden architectural firm of Lackey & Hettel, the building was known, appropriately enough, as the Schoenagle building. Sig Schoenagle apparently never operated a shop in this building, which was for many years home to the W.T. Grant department store. This building was demolished in the summer of 2003. In 1928 he again employed Lackey & Hettel in the design of alterations to his retail establishment. Sig Schoenagle was still living and working at 538 Federal Street at the time of the 1930 Census. He moved to 540 Federal Street in 1932, and in early 1938 moved his business once again, this time to 518 Federal Street. Tragically, Sig Schoenagle took his own life in May of 1940, when he was found hanging in his store at 518 Federal Street. He had been living at 2118 Spring Garden Street in Philadelphia at the time of his death. The business and building at 518 Federal Street operated as Kline and Gallimore through 1950, and was known as Brait's Men's Store in 1959. Sig Schoenagle's brother, William Schoenagle was in business in Camden for many years, manufacturing store curtains and valances. William Schoenagle passed away in January of 1950.
