Interestingly, the 1890 patent 436416 is for spring wires on each side tube to hold the globe either in the down or up position and does not apply to this model. There may be another patent on that date, but I could not find it.
I also could not find the 1891 or 1898 patents. It does not mean they are incorrect or mis-read, it takes a lot of time to narrow down a patent by a date alone. I'm still searching.
