Thanks Mike - yeah it certainly looks that way, what with the shorter/more stubbier curved lines joining the words 'L.S & co' and SF.
The end of the rivet is similar but also different, probably due to where it was made, rather than when.
When did they stop making piece-work by homeworkers? 1890?

They stopped piece work in 1900, the xx rivet doesn't have a . between the S F and the L S, seems like crude box like stamp instead of the dash lines...Cant say I have ever seen a rivet like the one on the XX piece?

Well spotted.  You make me envious as hell with your vocation.
 
If it was me, I'd put all the duplicates that you have (small scraps only with rivet) and put them into a frame showing the development 1870? - 1900's.  Similar to pinning butterflies.
 
As I've said before, would be awesome to have a pair or at least one half of a pair, to sandwich between perspex and wall mount. I've got a space right above the fireplace Big smile

Something like this, possibly with legs.  Dont mind the condition, just sort of complete(ish) - just the back or the front.  Could be framed just to see one side?  Would this be crazy house remortgage expensive??

The piece you posted from the museum would be about $8,000. This piece is the same time period as the 1879 xx archive piece, but the real date IMO is 1888-89 for both pieces. Let's try and find you a much cheaper piece

Sansome,
Do you know if there was a model 501 that appeared after the 1933 model, but before the 1944 model? I'm trying to identify the model that my grandpa was wearing in pictures of him from 1939-1941.
