Model Identification
Given its serial number and description, your rifle is a Second Model Takedown. Key characteristics of this variant include: 

• Chambering: Specifically designed for .22 Short only.
• Frame Type: A takedown model, meaning it can be disassembled into two parts using a large screw on the left side of the receiver.
• Receiver Finish: In 1904, the receiver was typically a blued finish, as Winchester transitioned away from case-hardened receivers around 1901 (approx. serial number 112,971).
• Barrel: Standard with a 24-inch octagon barrel. 

Historical Context
The Winchester 1890, designed by John and Matthew Browning, was the first slide-action (pump) rifle ever produced by Winchester. It became famously known as the "Gallery Gun" because of its widespread use in carnival and fairground shooting galleries during the early 20th century.
