It appears to date between 1840 and 1850 based on the comapny's use of that name. Here are a couple of websites with some background information on the company and the different names they used. http://www.relicman.com/backscovillm.htm http://www.thelampworks.com/lw_companies_scovill.htm

Agreed that it is 1840's, that exact b/m is listed as 1840's in Tice's book.
