    Well, as we see it is pretty hard (visually) to distinguish between ribbons that were made after 1920.

    They are all have pretty uniform hooks and eyes.

    Visually silk looks practically the same.

    Only red stripes become (with years) less and less rich.

    Here comes this modern replacement ribbon (note the form and thickness of the eye ;)).

    Let`s talk about ribbons for Sacred Treasure Order.

    Earlie ribbons have many very interesting color variations (consequences of different manufacturers that ignored official regulation?).

    Here comes classical example of early ribbon from Meiji epoch (note the mint mark on the ball - unusual place for lower classes of sacred treasures).
