Rayon is an artificial silk. That would place it up to the 1960's when I think they finally ran out of old stock and went to nylon. They did use real silk as well but as the war went on silk became difficult to obtain.

If the ribbon is rayon, does that place it in any time period? I have the impression that the WWII era ribbons were silk.
I don't know beans about fabrics. What would distinguish rayon from silk?
