Vera Scarf Dating?

[Buckarooandco]

I picked up this scarf awhile ago and am having a hard time dating it. I've looked at FuzzyLizzie's page about them and am pretty sure it's early 60's? But the ladybug attached is causing me some pause...I don't think I've ever seen another with this attached? It's metal with the Vera ladybug on one side and then indented on the other with a tiny paper label inside...

It would be great to see a picture of the scarf in order to help with dating, Laurie. I've never seen an attachment like that either - nice!

It's just a plain black silk 23" by 23" square...

Interesting.

I've seen those little crimped metal tags, on NOS scarves and hankies, but this is a special Vera ladybug one!

Here's the whole scarf...can't see the tag on it...really hard to take a pic of...

And more of the tag (trying to get decent pics for a listing...ugh):

I've seen that little charm several times, but can't say exactly when it was used. Vera used that sewn-in label from the late 50s. Later the label was simplified, so this is probably 1960s.

BTW, she did a really great line using charms in 1953. http://thevintagetraveler.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/ad-campaign-vera-scarf-1955/
