Is it possible for THIS one to be a 1902? When did they make tipless lamps...what year was the first tipless lamp made?

I thought the tipless version came out at the 1910's Question

I'm not sure actually, I was just going by the info on the card in the pic.

Maybe someone else can help clarify this.

I would think 1902 would be too early for this lamp it has the exhaust tube in the stem. The modern exhaust tube found in todays lamps came along in 1918. But there's a similar method using a L shaped exhaust tube which came earlier but not in 1902. They did have a few tipless lamps as far back as the 1880s but they used other ways.
