Hi! I'd appreciate any help dating this fabric. Bought it off ebay dated 1970s best guess. But I think it is earlier. 34.5" width. And the color placement varies from exact images on the fabric. Side by side example included. Would appreciate any help. I've scoured the internet but I'm coming up with no help so far.
Thank you for any feedback

I'm not an "expert" in this area but I do sew with vintage fabric. 35" is a typical 30s/40s width (not sure how much earlier if at all that width dates to). To me, the design looks right for that era as well, but hopefully some more expert opinions will chime in.
 
Looking at 70s patterns though they do still show yardage for 35" wide fabric. Does it have anything in the selvedge at all?

No ma'am. It's blank. It's a linen. But the inconsistent coloring around the similar rabbits would show it was stamped or rolled. Did they still do that in the 70's?

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to that, I love vintage fabric but have a lot to learn about it.
