Thanks,

I'd say anything between ~1890 and ~1940

I would say most are 1920s/1930s, but some could be quite a bit earlier…

Very mixed styles,1880's-1930's.

I agree – starting about 1880 but think top end would be 1930's

Excellent!

Now all I've got to sort out who's from which of those periods:

Top row (L to R: 1, 2, 4, and 5)
Middle row (L to R: 9, 10, 12-15):
Bottom row (L to R: 18, 19, 21-24)

All others seem to be either diggers or mummies.

Now all I've got to sort out who's from which of those periods:

Any of them would work for the whole period ~1880 – ~1939

I dunno, the mummies look a lot earlier than 1890

The female figures can be dated by hemlines to some extent.
Floor length – pre WWI
Ankle length – WWI to early 1920's
Knee length – late 1920's to 1930
Calf length – 1930's
Knee length again – 1940's and 1950's
There has been a fairly direct correlation between the stock market strength and hemlines in the 20th century – strong economies feature short skirts and weak economies feature long hemlines.
"Why" contiues to be argued.

Awesome!

Thanks so much,

Dan

The mini (sometimes almost micro) dress / skirt was a feature of the late '60, in Western Europe at least the happiest period of History: hemlines seem to move up and down following general optimism

I dunno, the mummies look a lot earlier than 1890

A common mistake; all ambulatory mummies are from the late 1800's on… ;->=

I blame the GW revisionist fantasy Tomb Kings…
