I think Bill Bailey is 1902 and Hard Tack is 1904. Am I right? They are scarce now although I found mine over 50 years ago at thrift stores in Tucson Ariz. Thanks. George Anglin

All of the Victor info is being made available at

of Victor Recordings.
In order to date them you need to note the take number.  For example, 
1411 takes 1 and 2 were recorded May 23, 1902 but take 6 were recorded 
June 25, 1903.  2667 seems to be just one take recorded January 14, 1904 
on matrix number B-923.
