After a bit of poking around on giggle image search,
I’d say it looks like an old Sargent.

Heckel’s book lists two Sargent patents for lateral levers
(besides Shaw’s patent, which isn’t relevant here):

Of these, the second is most likely, since Datamp says the
first was only used in 1891 on the Sargent 3400 transitionals.

hope that helps,
