It is very frustrating that nothing more definitive has come up for the PC805 Novelty Cutlery or the PC796 Anonymous Sepia sets.

What do you think about the theory the 796s were produced first, even if just by a few months possibly?
I looked for articles a few years ago in hopes to find something like those sets you mentioned...yup, frustrating.
