Bell and Howell's advanced foot-actuated splicer's patent was applied
for in 1916 - so although I haven't found dates for earlier splicers, I
feel there must have been simpler splicers available prior to that along
the lines of the Bell & Howell 198A splicer design (although that
particular model follows the introduction of 16mm film in 1923).
Here's the google patent link:

And Brian Pritchard has a 1929 B&H pamphlet scanned that shows this type
of splicer in the 3rd page:

The Griswold cement film splicer was patented in 1922 and was the
first splicer I used in the early 1960’s
