   It looks like the 1930's versions, I collected movie star photos for quite a time when young and sold them also. I have seen quite a few of movie stars with them on. The ones with stripes came out in the late 20's and 20's and yours is very similar to ones that I have seen. I own some of Douglas Fairbanks photos from the sale they had at Doyle Galleries earlier on this June I believe. I will post a photo of him wearing a very similar one to yours on my page.
   
   Hope this helps, your swimsuit is in pretty good repair, very little damage for such a piece of clothing.

   Instead of posting on my page I will give you this website which shows a picture of Fairbanks and Crawford with similar one on.

   Thank you, PhilDavidAlexaderMorris, Wow !! i did not realized I had such and vintage
   wear, it does bring the picture to life. I just can not believe they would wear 100% wool material especially for swim wear. I guess i am spoil for my time:) But very appreciated of history. Thank you once again.
