Brown & Sharpe milling machine age

well, by a strange set of circumstances i ended up with that old B&S No. 0 Omniversal machine that i had asked about a few weeks ago. the maintenance manual is still available from B&S. the manual only covers a certain serial # range, so i checked and the serial # on this machine is 16 (pretty early one, i'd say). so about how old does this make this puppy?
