The last patent on this one is 1897, and I know they had some 1898 patents on them too, so I assumed that it falls somewhere in between. I would say 1898 as it is all nickel with the flat key, and has an apparently homemade case, though the top is nicely made and has an aged patina. When I recieve it I will post a pic, it might fit in one of your upcoming books! John.
