1885-1915 lived AND worked in his own home during these dates, the stamping on his baits was a bit cruder unlike a big company like Enterprise that had more 'modern', crisper stamping process. Lowe was a 'penny pincher' for sure. If there were any of Lowe made spinners remaining after the sale to Enterprise and stamped 'Original' this may account for the cruder stamped Enterprise Originals, i believe the 'Original' brand started with Enterprise, just a guess most likely one of those things we'll never clarify!
