After asking around in the Historic Knit group on Yahoo and being directed to the Antique Pattern Library, I find that their educated estimate of the age of the two DMC books is 1922-1923.
Thanks again to the help from the Historic Knit group to date the Twilleys Lyscord book, we believe it is late 1930s.
And the booksellers called me today, I'll be getting more books from them and will probably pay them a visit in Enfield very soon to try to find more of the DMC and perhaps, the Rutt books. I'm expecting a vintage Wheldon book too. Yay!
