I have down in my notes that divided backs on postcards began showing up in March of 1907. Not sure where I got this information - probably from a Postcard book or website.
Paul, that is quite a collection. It is interesting that only one of your 22 has a postmark. Most of the examples that I see are not stamped. I personally think that these postcards were so attractive and popular that they were primarily bought for personal keepsakes rather than as actual postcards.
Thanks for the comments and let me know if anyone finds a Novelty Cutlery postcard with a pre 1910 postmark.
