I know of a 1911 Chase Mill in western Massachusetts.  Runs off a 351 detroit power plant now.

The Waterous mill our club has is from the early 1920's. Coming up to the Century mark.
It still works well when we don't hit nails and is used to mill club member logs.
It has a patent date on it May, 1868
