Asking his owner and looking into the manuals looking for manuscript
notes. Sometimes you find even a test certificate.
And you are right, in only very few occasions at Bridgeport mills the date is
marked in the type plate.
More often you find an inventory number than a mfr date then ask the accountant.

On other brands you find more frequent the date on the type plate.
In the electric panel you may find hints for the date on the components
or a wiring sketch with a date.
