I found this fantastic bracelet and am hoping someone with charm bracelet knowledge can help me date it. I'm getting a 50's feeling.. Help? Thanks:)

Are the bracelet and the charms gold or gold plate and are the charms textured on the reverse side?

The back of some charms are textured, others are double sided (back matches the front). I'm so ignorant with jewelry, so I don't know if they are gold or gold plate. In looking for marks, I did find that the clasp is stamped GERMANY

I've seen this charm bracelet design before, and I believe they date to the 50s. Very cute and fun.

Similar to those signed ART.
I know the clasp is marked Germany. Have you closely inspected for any other marks? Though it may not have any others.

Thanks, joules. I have looked very closely for other marks, but haven't found any.
 
Usually if jewelry is gold it is marked with a Karat mark like 14K or a number like 585 (the equivalent mark for 14K..) Your bracelet is probably early 1960s. If you do a search for early 1960s German gold tone charm bracelet you will find some similar examples.
