The sticker dates it to the 1930s. Probably not silk at that point. Nylon seems reasonable. They used it commercially at that time as a silk alternative.

You will need to do some testing like Gorge and Thomas did.
•Both Washington and Jefferson tried growing hemp on their Virginia farms, with mixed success. Washington used some of what he grew to make hemp clothing worn by his slaves. However, U.S. hemp exported to Britain often was of such poor quality that it couldn't be sold, and Washington was never able to turn a profit on the crop despite sustained effort. Jefferson also seems to have grown hemp strictly for local consumption, from which we deduce he couldn't make money at it either. In short, not only were Washington and Jefferson marijuana farmers, they were unsuccessful marijuana farmers.

One of my ex-girlfriend used the burn trick when buying scarves/pashimas in street markets. Silk burns different from synthetics. So, she used that to determine if she got a good deal and go back to buy more, or money down the drain.
