Do I have the proper case for my Home Model A?

[posaune7p]

Hi I now have a Home Model A that has a SN of H25827. The patent plate is nickel plated with last patent date of 1898. The SN is also stamped on the bed plate. It also has an open mainspring. What year would this be? The case is the green oak with the black banner, but I think it must have been put in that case later on as the bedplate has 2 screws (upper left and lower right), but the case has 4 screw holes. Thanks

You might check on the Talking Machine Forum: I believe George Paul has a list of Edison manufacturing data.
