I have this pedal powered scroll saw and been trying to roughly date it. Can the pedal help tell me how old it is? I'm working on getting it going and took the pedals off and took 'em apart to clean and lube. I believe some of the parts were nickle plated.thanks 4 any help. Would photo of the crank help?

Sweet machine looks 1895-1915 era. I'm sure you'll find some help on identifying the neat pedals. Thinking the pedals are a bit later tho prob within 20-30 yrs.
