The date is right on it. It looks like 3 patent dates. It looks like the last patent reissued 1863 so it would be made 1863-78 approx. You could call it CW era. Ill pull it up when I get a chance later.

Closer look and I think its reissued 1868. Patents were good for 10-15 years I think so it can be dated as made from 1868-1883.Earthworks said:

I think the thumbwheel is from a HOLMES BOOTH & HAYDENS "COMET" kerosene burner.
