Based on a calendar seen in the Market Street crime scene in Case #2, the case takes place in a year when July 2nd falls on a Sunday; since there are free African Americans in prominent roles, the story must take place after the Civil War (1865), but presumably also takes place before WW1 (as this Wiki states that it takes place during the Victorian Era). This means the potential years are:

 ·         --  1865

 ·         --  1871

 ·         --  1876

 ·         --  1882

 ·         --  1893

 ·         --  1899

 ·         --  1905

 ·<span style="font-variant-numeric:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:"TimesNewRoman";">         --  1911

<p class="MsoNormal">However, we also know that the Concordian Flying Squad operates out of an airship; the Zeppelin wasn’t invented until 1900, which narrows our years down to 1905 or 1911. Can anyone draw any clues that will narrow it down further? (I know this Wiki says "late 19th century", but that doesn't fit the historical record - there were no airships in the late 19th century...) <ac_metadata title="When does &quot;Mysteries of the Past&quot; take place?" related_topics="Mysteries of the Past"> </ac_metadata>
