I hope this helps.


*It could also be 1898/1889/1899, but I think the year given, 1888, is the most probable option, followed closely by 1898.
Great work Marc, thank you. History unfolds before our eyes. Lorenz, the depths you have gone to are greatly appreciated as is the willingness of the museum to help with learnings is also greatly appreciated.
