I've seen evidence of its wear during the Edwardian period. It may have been worn pre. 1902. They do surface occasionally and am led to believe that they were still in use into the 1930's when they were worn specifically at night and onto which was hung a rather heavy "Wotton" rechargeable lamp.
The appended photo may be of interest.
