Periodic Tables from the year 1886:

Crookes' Periodic Table
From Quam & Quam's 1934 review paper.pdf
| Year: 1886 | PT id = 798 |
Discovery of Fluorine
F
Fluorine, atomic number 9, has a mass of 18.998 au.
Fluorine exists as a pale yellow diatomic molecular gas, F2. It is the most electronegative and reactive of all elements: it which reacts with practically all organic and inorganic substances.
Fluorine was first observed or predicted in 1810 by A.-M. Ampére and first isolated in 1886 by H. Moissan.
| Year: 1886 | PT id = 812 |
Discovery of Germanium
Ge
Germanium, atomic number 32, has a mass of 72.63 au.
Germanium was first isolated in 1886 by C. A. Winkler.
| Year: 1886 | PT id = 846 |
Discovery of Dysprosium
Dy
Dysprosium, atomic number 66, has a mass of 162.5 au.
Dysprosium was first isolated in 1886 by P.E.L. de Boisbaudran.

Shepard's Natural Classification
Shepard's Natural Classification of the Elements, a spiral formulation with instructions for turning it into a three-dimensional table. From: Elements of Inorganic Chemistry, Descriptive and Qualitative (pp221), by J. H. Shepard, (1886), Boston MA, pub. D. C. Heath
René Vernon writes:
Note the instructions along the side, to turn the table into a tube (spiral form) and the 19 spaces from La to eka-Ce. Here, Yb needs to be moved back one column into group II, so as to leave room for Lu under La. Then eka-Ce becomes Hf. This results in La + 15 lanthanoids.
The accompanying text says:
"Elements of most distinct basic character are found towards the left; non-metals predominate in the upper and middle parts of Groups V., VI., and VII. ; while the lower part of the table is marked by the more indifferent elements.
"A double spiral will be traced beyond Si (beginning with P and V respectively) and distinguished by heavy-face and light-face type.
"The harmony of nature here exhibited is most impressive. Is it possible that the so-called elements are really compounds? Did the various 'elements' of the earth and sun once exist as hydrogen, when our solar system was a nebula? And will modern chemists ever revive the famed problem of the alchemists, and seek to turn the base metals into gold? Far more precious than gold is the search for truth; and the more we learn of science, the broader becomes our conception of what we know in part, and the deeper should be our reverence for the infinite thought of the Creator."

Reynolds' Method of Illustrating the Periodic Law
Reynolds, J. E. (1886). Note on a method of illustrating the periodic law. Chemical News, 54, 1–4
Ann E. Robinson comments:
"Reynolds published a zig-zag version he created, noting it had been 'used in my lecture-room for some years in order to illustrate the periodic character of the relation between the atomic weights and properties of the chemical elements.'
>"Rather than a tabular form, Reynolds's form was a curve, best visualised as a string with seven knots tied in it at regular intervals, providing a 'vibrating system'. Although Reynolds's diagram is presented only as a two-dimensional picture, in a note he remarks that a friend suggested that the installation of 'a vibrating metallic chain, suspended from the ceiling and attached to the floor, would afford a more complete picture.'":
