New to this, help identify some tags and time periods?

I am new to vintage clothing, but I have been obsessed with scouring thrift stores for vintage tags. From what I have researched, if it doesn't have care instructions anywhere, it's 1970 or earlier, so I try to stick with that knowledge and buy accordingly. Everything here was purchased for $1 to $4.

Most of this is mine, but two are my wife's. The Zephyr Maid and Anne Rubin.

Anne Rubin - I am not sure if this is the somewhat well known Anne Rubin that did knits in the 60s and 70s, or a home made sweater from someone with the same name. Could anyone confirm?

Designer Knits - I believe this is a 1960s. It's got a really cool eagle embroidered on the left chest. I can't find any information on them.

-Escort, Binghamton Knitting Company - My favorite find, a really heavy wool cardigan. I also believe this is 60s, as there is the same one currently on Ebay claiming so. Binghamton is about an hour away from where I live, so this is a cool local piece.

-Jack Nicklaus by Revere - I also think this is 60s. When did Jack Nicklaus clothing come about?

-John Henry - this one has care instructions, so I am assuming it's early to mid 70s??

-Puritan Jay Berma - I feel like this is 50s to 60s, not sure when Jay Berma came about, can anyone confirm?

-Rugby Knitting Mills, Buffalo - I have seen this tag on a 50s, piece, so I am assuming this one is 50s, maybe 60s. Buffalo is again near where I live so this is local.

-Wash Without Worry - I am guessing this one is 50s. I cannot find any info on the company, assuming that is their name.

-Zephyr Maid - Also cannot find any information, my guess is 50s??

I appreciate any help!!

 

Here is a little information about your Wash Without Worry label, from looking up the WPL number HERE...and I found ads for Kandahar's Wash Without Worry sweaters in 1961 and 1962 newspapers.

 

...and here is the WPL information for your Zephyr Maid sweater:


And from a 1952 publication:

 

Sargon Knitwear seems to be the company behind Designer knits and first filed with the patent office in 1958.

 

I found ads for jay-berma sweaters for Puritan from 1962 to 1968.

 

Awesome, thank you so much! Definitely good news that they are turning out to be about what I thought. I will keep honing my eye and picking up vintage stuff when I see it! Where do you find the ads for these things?
