David,

That’s a good idea I’ve had a similar idea in the past. However most fonts or type faces will only get you into a ballpark year, sort of like this font was popular during the Victorian period etc. But as for a list of fonts with creation dates I’m not sure such a record exists. But if it did you are correct that would be one really good way to tell what year it might have been made.

The fonts however are clearly different IMO, the Y extends much higher on one side than the Y in the Cobb brand. The T is night and day, and the C is much more thin and has more curl than the American Beauty C.
