This is most likely a scarf from the 1930's, with it's Art Deco style lettering which is beautifully and exquisitely hand-painted on the black sheer silk. The latest I'm sure would be early 1940's.  If you're a "Jessie", here's a chance to get sump'n personal for your accessories section of your closet. If you're not, but you know someone with the name who wears vintage, how can you resist snagging this thing for a gift? You're welcome.

It's in very good shape for a  sheer fabric this old; I didn't try to overly stress/stretch it and it has stayed intact. There are already a couple small small stress spots to it where unfully developed holes have started to appear but they are not all the way through. Proper and careful handling will keep it that way, they will not be noticed when wearing! See the pics they tell the story.

Measures roughly 16-1/2" x 19-1/2"
