Dear David,

For Śabdakalpadrumaḥ, Banglapedia reports 1819 for the first volume and 1858 
for the last 
(https://en.banglapedia.org/index.php/Shabdakalpadruma#:~:text=Shabdakalpadruma%20Sanskrit%20dictionary%20compiled%20by,annexure%2C%20was%20published%20in%201858}.

For Vācaspatyam, WorldCat reports the original publication dates as 1873-1884 
(https://search.worldcat.org/title/vachaspatyam-a-comprehensive-sanskrit-dictionary/oclc/830765108?referer=di&ht=edition).
