I used to own a set of (48? of) them, along with the original packaging. The box was in poor condition, but the cards were probably all in the ex-nm range. I've never doubted the date of origin. If each of the original owners had 48 or more of them, and they had rounded corners to begin with (the cards, not the owners), and the game was even moderately popular, it's unsurprising to me that it would be easy to find nice copies 100 years later.
