[Lathe] Anyone Know How Old This Lathe Might Be ???

My grandmother who was born in 1880 told me that as a young girl of about 11-12 years old she used to operate the treadle for her father, my great-grandfather, when he needed all his attention to cut an intricate piece. She remembered that cutting steel required more power than cutting brass.
 
The headstock looks very similar to an ancient T.Taylor lathe I have.
