1895-96. Must be a lubrication tube cover.

Yes, I would agree,...
       ...both sides.

So, how does the pictured
one above, without those
ports, get lubrication?

95 introduction back lever had them. If you dig around on the old website Hoehn disassembled a 95 introduction back lever on the long thread.  The Briner back lever patent above was filed in 97. Briner's patented design was introduced in 97 season. The 95-introduction back lever was designed by either Briner or Pillsbury more than likely late 94 motor season. Charles Meston was a pencil pusher, brother engineer Alexander Meston passed spring of 93.

I'd guess "an unspecified"
over "an unlimited" period
of time?
