Floral wool scarf dating?

Here I am bothering again...this is a silly thing, but I really can't get a sense of what decade this pretty scarf may be.

Burn test indicates wool. Unfinished edges. Double-sided design (no right/wrong side).

I can't help with dating it but it reminds me very much of Polish Folk scarves. I know the older ones, at least, were made from wool, I had several in the 1960s/70s. Despite being of Polish ancestry, I don't know the finer points of identifying folk scarves, I could be way off the mark. :)
Lovely!

Yes I know what you mean, I've had similar scarves. I did think of 70s with this one as well possibly. But I don't think the design is quite right for a folk scarf, although maybe inspired by them. Could be wrong, of course.
 
I did wonder if it could possibly be 40s, or maybe 50s. Some of the details evoke an earlier era for me, such as in the attached photos. I found a few similar ones online that were dated 40s, though who knows how accurate those datings are sometimes. Does that seem possible, or completely off?
