Nice project, all looks impressively original and unmolested, and timeframe could extend back to as early as 1899. The occassional examples, like...

I doubt it, however, the Veritas Lamp Works trivets were produced by and for Falk, Stadelmann & Co. who also made stoves of their own at that time...
