I think the box for the sprocket deck is not the original- the lack of a date code on the ace puts it before 1904, but the box itself says "revised 1905." Unless it is one of those oddball situations where the deck was manufactured and sat around for a couple of years before it was packaged and sent out (Hochman mentions this rare occurrence when talking about tax stamp dates).
Congrats on the purchase.
