1924 is perhaps the most obvious answer, due to the styles and fashions of the time, however many technologies that exist in the series were only invented in the following decade.
1936. Year of the dog, associated with fire in chinese calendar. After the creation of yellow taxis, and limos but before the wholesale replacement of carriages with cars. Also, was before improvements to the adoption system, and a lot of people still thought of orphans as not children you wanted to bring into your family.
1948 is also a potential, as it is in line with when orphans went from out, to in. but I think the 20s motifs and utter lack of anything to due with WW2 suggest the series takes place proir to 1939.
1960 is actually recent enough that it is really unlikely to be correct. By 1960 you likely wouldn't see a banker being responsible for delivering children to their guardians. Also, people didn't reallu hate orphans.
