c1890 Convertible Safety

Here's another mystery bike for savvy Wheelmen.
Stoddard and Stover came to mind, but I'm not finding good results there.
Maybe Rudge?

It looks a lot like a 1889 Psycho. Catalog images and period ads are very close except do not show the curved brace at bottom of frame, but this could have been added after catalogs were printed. For 1889 they made a men's and ladies' versions which looked similar except men's had 30" wheels and ladies' had 29" wheels. 1890 version has a full curved dropped frame.
