Thanks all. I think probably the 1930s too. Both of the identical quilts are in very good shape given their age. I gave the executor $150 for the pair; she was grateful for the cash even though I gave her additional ideas about how she might get more if she did more work to market them.

I have two young granddaughters whose mom (my DDIL) cherishes quilts and heirlooms, so these are going to them. Yesterday I soaked them in a special product for antique textiles, washed them on delicate and laid them out to dry flat. They are now clean and ready to go to their new home. They will be preserved and by the time the girls are grown, they really will be "over 100 years old," as the former owner believed.
