Hi Emma, care symbols were generally adopted in the 1960s (countries vary on the date), but they didn't exist in the 1940s. Another thing against the 40s is Western Germany wasn't formed until 1949. It may well be the 1970s, could you share a photo of the sweater as that may help with the dating.
Did the F in the car label mean dry FlatIt's lovely! It looks great quality, I think that textured style is called popcorn knit although if I'm wrong on that hopefully others will correct me. I think it may be 1970s, or possibly the late 60s. There are some Hudson Bay labels in the VFG label resource, but none are the same as yours.
I'm not sure when the F in a circle dry cleaning symbol came into use, that may help pinpoint the date a little more.
No, the F relates to the dry cleaning process itself. Garments marked with F cannot be cleaned in the same dry cleaning machines as those used for P cleaning, as they are cleaned using highly flammable, petroleum-based solvents that are not suitable for the dry cleaning machines.Did the F in the car label mean dry Flat
