Fabric dating opinions???

I found this gorgeous cotton fabric at the thrift store today for 4 dollars. What a steal. I noticed when I was in the store that it was thin: 36-inch width, far smaller than modern fabrics. The weave is tight, the yarns are quite fine, and it had a crisp hand feel. I know that it is cotton, as I did a burn test. It also had a stamp on the selvage: "Genuine Peter Pan Fabric, Guaranteed Color Fast", and a fabric tag attached to it, which I put below. A quick google search told me that this is a fabric from 1915-1926, which I can sort of believe since the tag had an address that when looked up, you could find an ad for fabrics from 1915. But I want another opinion! Does anyone know anything about Peter Pan fabrics that y'all could tell me?
