[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 2335538, member: 45"]Molas are often difficult to date precisely, since they have been made pretty much the same for years. You can sometimes tell by the number of colors used, since earlier ones tended to feature more colors than those made more recently. Older ones also tended to feature traditional design patterns, while more recent ones sometimes get creative and come up with new, "more modern" images. More recent ones have also started to use cotton blends, so you can sometimes tell age by the fabric itself. Other than that, maybe someone who collects them can more precisely date yours.[/QUOTE]
