Not only is it only 36" wide (which many old fabrics were), it is not even 2 yards.....even with the hemmed edge, it's only 69"!!!

Heck I might would pay ten dollars for it but not much more It will probably fall apart when washed

I love vintage fabrics but would never pay this much for 2 yards!!!! I will just keep my fabric until it becomes vintage and then have my own vintage stash to choose from. LOL!! :mrgreen:
it is NOT from the 30's either...in the 30's, none of those items would have been printed on the fabric..especially NOT the cuckoo clock!

AND it was at 36" up until the late 1960's...and this really has more of a late 50's early 60's look!

I wrote and asked for proof of its age! I am going to go through my fabric dating books in the morning..but I am pretty sure this is NOT from the 30's

Jacquie, you beat me to it. Not 30s. Maybe 50s, or even early 60s.

I would bet my last fat quarter on it. LOL
