Daniel, The 10,000 range runs from about 1897-98 to 1903-04. If you have a more specific number, that can be narrowed down a bit more as Brown lists the number range by year. If the Birmingham address is specific, that might narrow the sleeving down some (assuming the rib is new, but it might not be), and I assume the re-proof marks can help establish the year of the sleeving.
