Craig,
In 1979, the Sports Collectors Bible dated the PC805 Novelty Cutlery cards to 1907, which is kind of weird because they dated the PC796 Sepia series at circa 1910. The sets use the exact same images, so I would assume that they were issued the same year.
The 1982 "Beckett" Baseball Memorabila Price Guide has both sets listed as being from 1910.
The first edition of Krause's Standard Catalog did not include the set. I am not sure when they added it, but in the most recent edition they have the Novelty Cutlery cards as being from 1907-09 and the PC796 cards being from 1910.
I assume that Krause took the information from the Sports Collectors Bible. Not sure why they preferred that dating over Beckett's.
