I am in search of an early small floor standing Milling machine...by early I mean 1800’s time frame, the earlier the better. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks George

That P&W mill is more or less the operational equivalent of my Brown & Sharpe Universal Mill No 1255 (that you inquired about.) It even has the rather narrow work table which is indicative of competing head for head with the Brown & Sharpe version which came to being primarily for machining twist drills (but was advertised as a "toolmaker mill." I guess a twist drill is "tooling.")
