Based on the provided images, here are the historical details and the exact dating of the object:

What the Registry Says (RD Number)
The marking on the burner reads "RD 55891" (as clearly visible in the approximate close-up images). "RD" stands for Registered Design of the British Patent Office (UK Patent Office).
• The registration number 55891 was officially issued in the year 1886. In that specific year, the British sequential numbering began at 40,480 and ended just before 64,520 (registered in early 1887).
• This proves with precision that the design of this particular model was protected against imitation from the second half of 1886.

Type of Mechanism
The burner is of the Duplex type, identifiable by the two vertical tubes feeding two parallel wicks side by side (common in prestigious British brands of the era such as Hinks & Son or Messengers). Duplex burners were very popular in the late 19th century because they produced a much brighter and steadier light.
