Me thinks it will be more trouble than it is worth.
Too many things going on to bother listing them.

I have seen lotsa Brown & Sharpe, my #1-1/2 is 1908, or 115 years old.

It has the name and serial number located in place.

From your photo, yours has apparently nothing, may not be B&S!

The B&S Site, of which I'm a part owner, is:

In the photo below, you can see the cast in place B&S info:

Why do you believe the pictured machine is a Brown & Sharp?
Also, what work do you hope to perform on this machine?

Knowing this might help us... help you.

Yep! That last photo tells a lot.

Now what you should do is post those two photos on other sites.

B&S made a lot of stuff before 1900, with that extremely small table that machine may be 1880's or older.

All B&S Mills were Line Shaft until the 1920's when they came with electric motors, your mill has long ago lost any such parts, maybe.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Brown+%26+Sh ... nb_sb_noss

That's what I got, lotsa choices by going to Amazon.

As I looked again at that Amazon compilation I decided I would buy that book on B&S, where the company building is shown, do not have it in my technical book collection.

Maybe, I find a reference to such a mill??
