In 1888 E. Remington & Sons became the Remington Arms Company, so that will at least give you a time frame to work with. I don't recognize the patent date so can't help you much for now.

Remington No.1 or No.2?

I believe you have a Remington #2 Rolling Block rifle.
Condition is all important so you need to post good quality pictures for any assessment.
Also, look for caliber markings on the barrel near the receiver.
