Hunzinger folding chair - 1873

This signed Hunzinger folding chair sold for $250 on an eBay auction this week. I suspect it would have gone for more except for the very poor condition of the aphostery. According to the seller, there is a Patent marked: May 19, 1870. However, I checked that date and found that no patents were issued on that date. Possibly it was mis-read...
UPDATE: This appears to be under the Patent 138892 - May 13, 1873
