    That tie is a cool Disneyland collectable, the tartan aside.

    Because Pendleton Woolen Mills operated a shop in Frontierland in Disneyland for many years.

    The shop's staff worked for Pendleton rather than for Disney.

    I loved that shop! For one thing they had a selection of elegant silver Scottish-made kilt pins. And lovely tartan travel rugs/blankets in a range of actual tartans. And beautiful tweed jackets and hats.

    The "Frontierland display" is interesting. I would assume it was on display, perhaps in the windows.

    True that something like an ex-display item could end up in Company D (the employee store).

    If you want it, I'd be happy to pick it up for you if they still have it. It was only $5.

    The tartan looks like it was inspired by, but not identical to, the Dress Gordon tartan to me.
