Date your Machine.
1) Use the newest Patent dates
your first clue
: Buy, drag home, Date, Identify, Restore and
  Then use your Vintage, Antique, Historical Machine Tool.

Cold headed screws and bolts (not machined) were used by ca.
1917  WWI.
Chipping with a cold chisels.
I have a Barns ca. 1880
lathe that shows this  on the
leg casting to make room
for a serial no. and to
smooth the top of the leg
castings to fit to the bed.
The style of lathe beds. American and
English forms from the 1800s to the
1900s can be a clue to its style and
peroid of  manufacture.

what way it is
decorated.
Is it ornate
Is it gothic
Red paint                 
           pinstripes

2) The style, no not clothing
  but ornate to plain              
   architecture.
Decoration ment quality and up to date design. Ornate
decoration migrated into machines because building
draftmen were the first Machine draftmen,
Quality was and still is shown by up to date or then
high teck design and decoration.
Leather
sewing
machines
Blacksmith forged
parts are used on
the machine 1700
to about 1880
.Use a Wookie
like Bruce D
to move your
Big Heavy
Machine. Below
use an engine
hoist or shop
crane.

Various Manufacturing methods can help you date a machine by the
process that it was machined and how it was made.

3.) How it was Manufactured.
By what method old or new, was the machine manufactured?
By older methods like planing, chipping, Using an shaper was it machined?
New methods are, Verticle mill, even the horizontal mill, grinder, was it machined?
How the Gears were made can date a machine.
2855
Gears can date machine tools. This gear was manufactured or made using early
manufacturing methods.  teeth show being planed  not  cut or milled   or hobbed  
also the key way is chipped and filed not   broached.   The gear was known to be made during the 1890s.

To the right..
Vertical Boring Mill
(Vertical slotter in
todays terms)
photographer Bob
Eddy

A vertical boring mill
or vertical lathe is
much like an
ordinary lathe turned
90 degrees, with the
headstock down.
This “up and down”
position provides a
great advantage in
working on large,
heavy work pieces.
With a heavy work
piece sitting on the
faceplate, setup of
the machine is
much easier. Also,
with the weight
supported this way,
the spindle is less
likely to be thrown
out of alignment.
