Default Some Finds - Fabric Identification?

Went to an estate sale the other day and found this beauty:


Which is a c. 1950 General Mills Tru-Heat. Should be a real help!

I also picked up this fabric, and I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about it. I did find one mark of identification, that it was made by "M. Lowenstein & Sons, Inc." which to me places it pre-1986. The estate sale listing advertised items from the 40's-80's, but I realize that's just a generalization. The fabric has a bit of a satine feel to it, but I'm no expert with that. The lighter colored stripes are more tan than white, I guess I'd say ecru?



I thought it was rather neat and would make a nice tote bag or iPad cover. Thanks!

(I hope this is in the right section...)
