Any US Cities listed?

If so, then you need to start searching late 19th century newspapers from that city, and hope you can find an advertisement for it.

Google News archive is a place to start.

Set up a saved search on ebay to see if another happens to pop up....of course what you really need is a labeled example!

Researching small 19th century manufacturing companies is laborious work. Despite the claims to prize winnings, this could have been just another back-room operation that scarcely even placed an ad in any publication.

Good luck.
