Your correct about the fount, no markings front or rear. It is my understanding the "wicket" style globe guards, the plain air tubes, the "O"-ring pull and outside lift span from about 1900-1905. I've been told around 1905-1906 the globe wires changed to the crisscross style w/reinforcing clip and then to the twisted wires later still. Also I believe the soldered in bottom changed to the crimped bottom around 1905-1906 but I haven't verified that yet. Hazard a guess?, well based on my notes and what I can see in the photos I'd guess your in the 1900-1906 range. As far as dating the globe goes I can't say for sure but it seems right to me. There are some other clues to look for regarding filler styles. I think I'll email you some notes and you can take your own guess at it and we'll see if anyone else cares to add to this or make corrections.
