@infobeautiful My version of this is to look at the map of Africa and compare it to the names of countries in the SG Part I stamp catalogue.
This works for most undated atlases that you're likely to come across (my theory is that older ones are rare and expensive and you won't find one in your granny's attic, and newer ones are dated).
Whoever makes maps or atlases (or any document really) without dating it needs to be strung up by the thumbs. Or at the very least needs a good stern talking to.
