I ordered a copy of the gallery guide for the Alfred Shaheen exhibit at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles, which ran in 2010. Unfortunately the guide does not have photos of the exhibit items, but there are text descriptions of the items that include dates and fabrics.
This guide should be a great help in dating fabrics. Many of the reference books I've seen seem rather subjective on the topic of dating. Since this is guide is for a museum exhibit, I'll consider it authoritatively vetted over other references. :)
You can order a copy from the museum's online store
