The headband with a feather stuck in the side of it has become kind of a symbol of Flapper fashions of the 1920s. However, I have not personally ever seen a real picture from the 1920s featuring a feathered headband arranged in such a way: I've seen 1920s headbands with no feathers, with many feathers (usually arranged symmetrically on both sides), or with one, usually very large, feather placed in front or back.
However, I've seen quite a few sources indicating that the lone side-feather headband was all the rage right about 1915.
For comparison, this would be like using Blossom hats as the symbol for the 2000s. You're about a decade off.
